Psychedelic Nature Symbols
Updated on

I like the psychedelic style posters of the sixties and beyond. This style was based on the much earlier art nouveau style. Some posters were almost copies of art nouveau posters. One of the biggest differences was the extremely bright and lurid colours used psychedelic art compared with the more muted and desaturated tones of art nouveau. The psychedelic style evolved and is definitely it’s own style. Here is a list of symbols and styles that are commonly used in this style.
