Awesome 80s Wall Clocks - How Cool Are These?

Collage of 80s Wall Clocks

I discovered some very cool 80s themed wall clocks today while browsing Redbubble, and there are literally hundreds of amazing designs created by independent artists which I haven't seen at any other store. In fact, the choice is pretty overwhelming and I could cover an entire wall with these clocks - there are so many great designs.

If you just want go and view them all then here's the link;

80s Wall Clocks at Redbubble

Worldwide shipping is available and you can change your currency on the bottom right of any page.

To give you an idea of what's available, I created the montage above which is the ideal size for posting on Facebook. However, let's take a look at some more of my favourite designs that I've picked out below and just click/select the image to go straight to the item at Redbubble. The prices are actually very decent, too, with most of the clocks available for just £20.

By the way, you can choose from different frame and hand colours, too, which is not something you can do at many stores.

Well, I just love this one! Associated Television was active from 1968 to 1982, and anyone who grew-up in the 70s and early 80s will certainly remember this ident.

Back To The Future Logo Clock
Back To The Future Logo Clock
Here is a logo and movie that just about everyone recognises from 1985. Choose the black frame to match the background. A white frame works well as a good contrasting colour.

Cafe 80's Wall Clock

Sticking with the Back To The Future theme, this design looks very cool indeed, particularly with a black frame.

Sinclair ZX Spectrum Wall Clock

Well, this is a must have for any Speccy fan and looks great with a black or white frame. However, there are lots of other Sinclair themed clocks available.

My Little Pony Rainbow Wall Clock

My Little Pony toys first hit the shops in 1981 and grew a huge following during the decade. I particularly like this design, but there are plenty more to choose from with a retro or more modern theme.


BBC1 Retro Clock

This is a clever idea to use the old BBC clock as a background. Just Brilliant!

BBC2 70s Wall Clock

Well now I don't know which one to get - maybe both! But wait, there's more...

In 1986, BBC2 launched this new logo which was used until 1991.

Who doesn't love an 80s triangle? I love the soft, pastel colours.


This one has a similar theme but is slightly bolder.

If you like bold patterning then this eye-catching design may be more your style.

Neon Grid Triangles Wall Clock

Grids, triangles and neon streaks feature in this striking design

So these are all of my favourite designs and I hope you like them, too. Redbubble have, by far, the best range of clocks I've seen with an eighties theme, and the prices are excellent. Don't forget that you can change the colour of the hands which is is very useful if you actually want to see the time!

Blondie - Debbie Harry - 70s and 80s Fashion Photos

Embed from Getty Images Debbie Harry Fridge Magnet Back in my school days (yes, it was a long, long time ago!) many kids associated Blondie purely with lead singer Debbie Harry, although Blondie was actually a band, and a damn fine one, too. It's not hard to see why. After all, she oozed sex appeal and became a style icon, and many of her looks can still be seen on the high street today. Harry's designer friend Stephen Sprouse can claim responsibility for many of those looks. He created every style you can imagine using denim, black leather biker jackets, camoflauge, wayfarer and aviator shades, pink and girly styles, nautical stripes, animal print catsuits - the list goes on! I find it amusing that in 1998 Britney Spears caused controversy by wearing a school uniform for her video "Hit Me Baby One More Time". How quickly we forget that Debbie Harry had done this two decades earlier! After forming in 1974, Blondie became pioneers of the punk and new wave s

Kia-Ora 80s TV Advert - I'll be your dog!

Anyone who watched British TV during the 1980s (or went to the cinema) will remember the Kia-Ora crows advert featuring the slogan "I'll be your dog".  You may well remember the Kia-Ora drinks in plastic cartons which the usherette used to sell in the cinema. They also sold them in our local youth club, although sometimes it was Tip Top orange, which kind of tasted like the carton.  The advert itself was pretty bizarre but also a lot of fun. It featured a child wearing a straw sunhat and carrying his belongings over his shoulder, while walking in the hot sun carrying an empty glass. Suddenly, a dog appears from nowhere and tips Kia-Ora orange into his glass. The sun wrings itself out into the glass to top it up.  A crow is following the child and shouts "Kia-Ora!". The child replies "It's too orangey for crows, It's just for me and my dog." The crow replies "I'll be your dog!", and then starts barking. As they continue to walk, an

Create an 80s or 90s Acid House - Raver Look

With its squelching bass sounds (often created using a Roland TB-303 bass synth) and minimalist production, the sound of acid house first became popular in the latter half of the 80s, starting in 1987. The media were more focused on the illegal raves and psychedelic drugs, but in reality, a good many young folk enjoyed dancing to the new sound in nightclubs (including myself) without going anywhere near any drugs or illegal raves. What is synonymous with the acid house scene is the smiley face logo, and the T-shirt featuring the logo, along with tie dye and psychedelic clothing, and bucket hats which became popular with ravers. Baggy over the knee shorts were popular with men. Bandanas and dungarees/dungaree shorts were also worn by both sexes. Some ravers also had  yellow whistles . In the early 90s,  white overalls , hooded anoracks and  yellow dust masks with an "E" , smiley face or radiation symbol also became part of the rave scene. Initially, the dust masks we
