South Packard · Ann Arbor, MI
SoPac
A street-shutting, food-truck-having, water-balloon summer block party.
Tree Town A2 Est. 2026 Block Party
01 — The Mark

The Bend

Packard drops out of downtown at a southeast angle, then kinks and flattens east toward Ypsi. SoPac lives right at that elbow — so the logo is that elbow: a route line that comes in on the diagonal and straightens out east, with a marker at the bend. Sun's always setting over Packard.

Primary seal

SOUTH PACKARD ANN ARBOR · EST 2026 ✦ TREE TOWN ✦

For hat patches, sticker centerpieces, the back of a tee. Reads at any size.

Wordmark & route lockup

SoPac
SOPAC BLOCK PARTY · 2026

The friendly lockup for shirt fronts and signage. Works in one color too — solid cream on forest, or all-black for a single-screen print.

02 — Palette

Crunchy & Sun-faded

Earthy, slightly 1970s, like a faded co-op tote that's seen a lot of summers. Built for cheap, clean spot-color printing — most pieces use 2–3 of these.

Wearables & Goods

A starter run: tee, dad hat, canvas tote, sticker sheet, and a koozie for the food-truck line. Same vocabulary across all of them — bend, sun, daisies, oak.

Keeping It Cheap

Spot colors

Every design uses flat fills, no gradients, so it screen-prints cheaply. Most pieces are 2–3 colors.

One-color fallback

The wordmark + bend and the seal both work in a single ink (all forest, or all black) for the lowest-cost run.

Vector ready

Everything here is built as vectors, so it scales from a sticker to a banner with no fuzziness. A printer can take it straight to film.

Garment colors

Forest, oat cream, and rust blanks all show the art well. Avoid anything too bright — it fights the faded palette.
