NEW ANN ARBOR ART FAIR LOGO in 2024
To highlight the Ann Arbor Art Fair’s history of being “Three Fairs. One Event,” the three directors have unveiled a new logo that celebrates their strong collaboration. The logo highlights the individuality of each fair, while emphasizing their collective unity and educating the community about the fairs’ diverse offerings as a single event.
This new logo is a result of months of teamwork, dedication and creativity that encompasses the vision for the fair now, and into the future.

the “a” emblem
The letter “A” serves as a distinctive marker, echoing its prominent role in the event (and city’s) name, the “Ann Arbor Art Fair.”
Vibrant colored rectangles intersect, mirroring the dynamic footprint of the three fairs. If you look closely, you may notice a subtle abstract easel and pencil to symbolize artistry and the boundless realm of creative expression.
Moreover, there’s a subtle homage to the esteemed Dutch artist, Piet Mondrian, infusing the design with an essence that honors the dedication and talent of the artists from across the nation who converge to showcase their artistry with us.
The Type
The fusion of sans serif and script text elegantly encapsulates the multifaceted nature of the fair, showcasing how diverse events seamlessly harmonize.
The sans serif typeface exudes simplicity and modernity, while maintaining a touch of individuality and whimsy. In contrast, the script typeface exudes sophistication and artistic flair, subtly evoking the abstract contours of Ann Arbor’s downtown skyline.
