Crafting Ypsilanti's Holiday Magic: A Logo Design Journey

January 8, 2024

Ylondia from BrandHrt Evolution reached out to our design studio seeking a unique logo for a special holiday event in Ypsilanti. With a vision of capturing the town's festive spirit, she emphasized the importance of blending local elements with holiday cheer. Our design team collaborated closely, drawing inspiration from Ypsilanti's holiday and community vibe.


Behind Your Design dove into the unique charm of Ypsilanti, drawing inspiration from the festive atmosphere that envelops the community during the holiday season.


After numerous brainstorming sessions, we presented Ylondia with a selection of logo options. Each design aimed to blend the festive spirit with Ypsilanti's identity. Ylondia's enthusiasm was contagious as she carefully reviewed the designs, offering insightful feedback that allowed us to fine-tune the logo further.


The finalized design became more than just a symbol for the event; it evolved into a part of the town's holiday celebration. Featuring festive decorations, the logo shows the joyous holiday atmosphere that awaited attendees. It seamlessly transitioned into banners, digital promotions, and various event materials, becoming a unifying visual element for the entire Ypsilanti community.


Ylondia expressed her gratitude for our team's dedication to bringing her vision to life. The logo, she noted, not only met but exceeded expectations, contributing significantly to a visually captivating and memorable holiday celebration. It became the drawing residents and visitors recognized to join in the festive spirit, making the event an unforgettable experience for all involved.


In the end, the collaboration with Ylondia and BrandHrt Evolution transcended a mere design project; it became a shared commitment to creating a meaningful experience for the Ypsilanti community during the holiday season. The logo became a symbol of unity, joy, and celebration, leaving a lasting impact on the town's holiday festivities.

September 29, 2026
Custom jerseys are a fun way to take spirit wear beyond the standard T-shirt or sweatshirt. With fully customizable designs, they can be created around your school, team, organization or event and made to feel completely unique. At Behind Your Design, we can customize jerseys with your colors, logos, graphics, names, numbers and more. Full-color dye sublimation gives you plenty of freedom to create bold designs across the entire jersey while keeping the finished piece comfortable and wearable. We’ve created several custom jersey styles for our clients, including football and baseball jerseys for Michigan State University Fall Fest. Each offered a different look while giving MSU a memorable piece of custom spirit wear that still felt true to their brand.

We had a fantastic time at the 2026 Michigan State University Vendor Fair ! It was a great day of connecting with so many wonderful people including current customers, new faces and plenty of potential future clients from departments and organizations across campus. One of the biggest hits at our booth was our T-shirt bags , which definitely got people talking. We also had lots of interest in the fully sublimated, two-sided umbrella we created for the CRIM Fitness Foundation. It was a great example of how a promotional product can go beyond simply adding a logo and become something truly custom and memorable.

September 29, 2026
There’s something special about taking the time to recognize the people who support your business throughout the year. Whether you’re thanking loyal clients or celebrating your employees, a thoughtful holiday gift is a simple way to show your appreciation. We love working with Hackney Jones Wealth Management , and this year, we’re helping their team get an early start on their holiday client gifts. Together, we curated several gift package options so they can choose something that feels just right for each recipient. Their custom gifts include cappuccino/soup mugs, stemless wine glasses, blankets and travel mugs. Each item was chosen with quality and function in mind because a great branded gift doesn’t have to be elaborate. Sometimes the most appreciated gifts are simply the ones people will use again and again.
