Figma Tutorial: Creating 80s Style Logotypes with Nostalgic Effects

A tutorial published on February 28, 2023, by an unnamed designer on Abduzeedo demonstrates how to create 80s-style logotypes using Figma. The guide leverages Figma's gradient capabilities and the Noise & Texture plugin by Rogie King to achieve chrome, 3D, and glow effects. Steps include using all-caps text for uniform gradient transitions, applying a hard black-to-white gradient in the middle, adding an outside stroke with a gradient to create depth, duplicating layers with Layer Blur and blend modes (Overlay at 50%, Screen at 80%) for glow, and adding noise. Lens flares are created with a circle using Diamond Gradient and Color Dodge blending. The tutorial reflects the author's nostalgia for 80s aesthetics and Figma's evolving toolset.
