Loom's '90s makeover features a vibrant yellow backdrop, bold 3D retro gifs like the classic "under construction" sign, and a spinning red heart. There's even a clunky "Microsoft Internet Explorer" badge to round it all off.
HubSpot keeps its signature bright orange color, but with a twist: a retro gif of a flying dove (?) and vintage clipart of a coffee cup under the "featured services" section.
Ahrefs sports a prominent "Microsoft Internet Explorer" badge and retro marker-style font in its '90s redesign. The phrase "unlock the secrets of the web" is a surprisingly accurate description for the tool.
Asana's '90s version has a quirky gif of a fictional planet orbited by numerous moons, symbolizing how Asana can help you manage multiple projects and keep them all "in orbit." (Or maybe we're reaching with that one?)
Mixpanel's retro design is simple, featuring scrolling text at the bottom with two giant 3D rotating red hearts. That bright yellow text on light blue background was a choice (looking at you, ChatGPT!)
Linear's '90s look has a prominent 3D retro gif of a flying dove. The copy accurately describes Linear as a project management tool, though the 1990s might not have been ready for such agile management.
Typeform's '90s throwback includes the infamous Comic Sans in the headline and a retro gif of a fictional planet orbited by multiple moons.
Slack's '90s version has a bright yellow background and vivid blue buttons. The subheading, "where work happens," still rings true, and the enticing CTA reads, "Join the fun!"
