Thank you, [personal profile] luminousdaze, for the idea for this challenge! We're going to make retro icons this month!

Retro for the purpose of this activity means "anything older than the year 2000".

This can either mean retro look, style and techniques: like 70s-style coloring, 80s grunge, retro fonts, 20s style black-and-white, etc.
or
retro subjects, like shows from the 90s, shows set in the 80s, movies from the 40s, comics from the 50s,...

You can mix and match techniques and subjects. Any combination is allowed. Here are some examples and resources:
