An example of a highlighted subtitle.
Inspired by old school VHS and VHS tapes, the Persian blue functions as the main colour of the branding, acting as an entryway to nostalgia and familiarity.
Bouncing off of the retro colour palette, the Hollywood cerise works side by side as a secondary colour to compliment the bright blue.
The white tertiary colour works to ground the text elements within the branding and allow for high contrast, as well as visibility.
The gold accent colour helps highlight any pieces of information within text, images, and more.
Although the main products being sold at this store are the retro gaming consoles, there are a couple additional services being offered. An assortment of retro video games are also sold along with the consoles.

For the physical storefront, it would look similar to a retro arcade, following the bright, saturated colours and lights that are synonomous with these types of entertainment areas. Since local tournaments will be hosted at the physical storefront as well, there would be setups that customers can drop in and play or host tournaments. These images lead to links of events or places that have served as a reference for this company.
For the overall branding, the colours are bright and saturated in order to give it a spin on the nostalgic themes. Rather than sticking with a muted palette, the colours are vibrant and are reminiscent of old school arcade entertainment areas.
