Retro Push-Button Landline Free Icons | Vector Assets

Nostalgic yet New, “Showa/Heisei Retro Phone” Free Material

A landline phone icon with a transitional design, featuring a rounded characteristic body like a black telephone, but with modern square push buttons. It has a simple structure with no LCD screen yet, and the handset and main unit are connected by a curl cord. Not quite a completely old “antique,” it is a design that makes you feel a moderate nostalgia and familiarity, like the “phone at your parents’ house” that many people remember.

Specific Usage Scenes and Suggested Applications

This icon can be utilized in various “contact” scenes, from store sites with a retro atmosphere to guidance for inquiry counters.

• For “Inquiry” Icons at Cafes, Variety Stores, and Hair Salons: Ideal as an icon placed next to the phone number on the websites of stores with retro-modern interiors or personal salons with a calm atmosphere. Compared to a business-like multi-function phone icon, it can visually express the “warm atmosphere” and “friendliness” that the store possesses.
• For Illustrations in Content Themed Around “Late Showa / Early Heisei”: It can be used as an illustration of an item (gadget) symbolizing that era in column articles looking back on the lifestyle of the bubble era or the 90s, or in media introducing retro culture.
• For Images of Services Related to “Parents’ House / Homecoming”: As an icon evoking “contacting the parents’ house” in monitoring services for the elderly or transportation ads during the homecoming season. For the smartphone generation, it is recognized as the image of “Grandma’s house phone.”
• For “Telephone Support” Guidance at Support Desks: In contrast to digital chat support, as an icon when guiding people to an analog counter saying “If you want to talk directly on the phone, click here.” The simplicity of not having an LCD screen conveys the reassurance that “no difficult operations are necessary.”
• As a “Retro Accent” in Design: As a design part placed in the footer of a website or empty space in printed materials. By using pop color schemes, it is also useful for producing a retro-futuristic worldview.

Editing Tips and the Merits of the EPS Format

In addition to PNG/SVG, which are free for both commercial and personal use, EPS format suitable for professional use is also included. Please use them freely according to your application.

By utilizing the EPS format, you can reproduce the colorings characteristic of telephones from this era. Using software like Adobe Illustrator, you can create a realistic feeling of use by making the body color a slightly yellowed “off-white” or “beige,” or create an atmosphere like an 80s fancy good by making it “pastel green” or “pink.”
Also, arrangements by part are possible, such as changing the color of the number part of the push buttons, or separating only the handset and using it as a “Call in Progress” icon.
