Thank you! I'm glad it gives the intended impression. :)

It generally means design based around 1950's US design. Powerpuff Girls
springs to mind.

Aargh. I looked through my fonts, but couldn't see one that matches my
rather indistinct idea (mainly through the lack of a decent font viewer). I
had an idea of something that looked like those neon (joined-up) signs.

Or earlier.  Retro as in "retroactive".  It's a look built out of
old-fashioned elements.

I'm not sure I would like a neon style, but I still can't quite picture it
so who knows...

 "retrograde"  might be better
And it is relative isn't it?  It means looking "backward" in time from
whatever vantage you assume to take.  Mimicking sixties clothing styles today
is
"retro"

True - and later. Abba could be considered a bit "retro". It implies a
knowing, slightly ironic, approach to a past style (managed to avoid the PM
word).

I get it now. However, I didn't *intentionally* make my logo have a look or
feel from past times. Does that mean it isn't retro after all?
