Ypsilanti Logos and Brands

Named after Greek War of Independence hero Demetrios Ypsilanti, the city of about 22,000 is known for Eastern Michigan University and a water tower recognized by Cabinet Magazine as one of America’s most phallic structures. EMU Eagles sports teams, municipal organizations, and local businesses may be featured in the section. Logos from the section reflect the identity of a compact college town with an industrial past linked to the Detroit auto industry, located 30 miles to the east.
