Build with “The Upside Down” and “80’s 8-bit” styles, inspired by Stranger Things Season 3
By: Madison Draper
We’re getting excited to return to Hawkins for Season 3 of Stranger Things, coming out on July 4th. In the lead up to the release, we started playing around with some new map styles to capture the cool, 80’s retro style of the show as well as the creepy, alternate universe of the Upside Down.
In the Upside Down map style, things are not all as they appear…
For the “80’s 8-bit” style, we pulled in the bright, neon colors from the Stranger Things Season 3 poster and combined fonts based on retro 8-bit video games to add visual interest at different zoom levels.
Both of these styles are now available in Mapbox Studio, so you can add the maps to your dashboard and build your own versions. If you don’t have an account, it’s free to create one and start building.
