[IC] GMK Retroguardia

(1/5) > >>

raz:

Hey everyone! After a few years since GMK Avanguardia, I’m back with something that feels like its rebellious little sibling.

GMK Retroguardia keeps the geometric vibe and minimalist layout spirit of Avanguardia, but swaps the muted palette for something with more bite, a vivid green accent that feels both retro and electric. It’s still clean, but this time it’s louder and a little more fun.

Theme

The name Retroguardia (Italian for “rearguard”) plays on Avanguardia (“avant-garde”); same design lineage, flipped energy.
Think early digital aesthetics, print grids, and sharp contrasting geometry, like something you’d find on an old-school synth interface.

Primary color: same deep blurpleish grey as GMK Avanguardia
Accent color: bright green
Extras: the same indigo GMK Avanguardia highlights just because.

RENDERS






Some early render references below, from when Retroguardia was just a sketch in the Avanguardia days :P


The TBDs
Would you prefer a novelties kit like Avanguardia had?
What about Mousepads?
Other merch (cables, artisans and so on)?

That's it for now, thanks for checking it out. If the response is good, we’ll move toward vendors and GB prep soon :)

Nice set! I have question regarding kitting, why there is no alert-row color |\ for split backspace support? I see this key on renders, but not in the kit render.

Good catch!

Delete and |\ are missing because I uploaded the wrong file =)
