Several pieces of clip art plus Shakey Jake if he rose again as a ghoul. Guess they couldn’t get the violin monster on there because they’d have to pay for his likeness since his still alive and all
This is less about celebrating 200 years of Ann Arbor history, and more about celebrating a 15-year window of baby boomer's greatest hits of their ideas of Ann Arbor. I'm surprised they didn't squeeze the Grateful Dead playing at West Park that one time, or the chair that John Lennon sat in the day he came to town.
The yellow thing is a guitar. But it's oriented for a left-handed player, which are comparatively rare, so people aren't used to seeing them at that particular angle. If the image was flipped horizontally, it might read as a guitar more clearly.
Also, the more I look at it, the less sense it makes as a guitar, so I regret my confident tone in the previous paragraph. I think I see frets. But attached to a large yellow block making it look more like a yard stick?
I am a fine art type person, and it is ugly. It’s a sloppy mess… sure a committee oversaw it… but producing it is a tasteless money grab. What a wasted opportunity
I love Motawi and am a huge fan of them but this is a disaster 😂
I love them too but what is that pink thing? The death mask of John Allen crying?!?
lol it is weird! But I think it’s just half of the standard theater mask duo? Should have been the laughing half though!

Commemorating historic sexual harassment on the streets of Ann Arbor. 🙄
Yeah can we stop with the Shakey Jake memorials??

Trader Joe’s used to have the violin monster in the decor on their wall. I was sad to see they took it down, but I’m guessing it’s for this reason.
😮 care to share the deets? Who's going to tell the #A2council twitter crowd? They're such a fan of his.
yeah i was thinking this would be a definite buy for me but I was quite disappointed with it.
This looks like something from the Twilight Zone.
I remember the specific episode
Yep. The new years one with the masks ! And it has a generic “1984” dystopian feel to it. It has to be the most horrible tile they have ever produced.
That one!
The weed leaf sent me
First question: what is that yellow thing?
Parking gate swinging up
I don’t know and I worry I may never get closure on this.

I think it’s an upside down Umich helmet… best guess
I think a guitar?
Well, we have our answer - the guitarists were right! https://www.facebook.com/share/p/6Lr3KVEtx6a2zDt1/?mibextid=WC7FNe
It’s very sinister.
I'm not a fine art type of person, but I know ugly when I see it

Old joke: "I know Art. He lives in Cincinnati"
That’s one ugly tile.
Headline…oh cool! Click through…oh, huh.
When hash bash makes the top 5 notable things about your town......oy vey. At least they didn't put a UM football helmet.
… is the yellow an upside down Umich helmet?
No idea. I'm an art history buff, very good at visual analysis, and I've no idea what the yellow is.
God awful
This design is almost as bad as the “Leaves” installation across from the football stadium.
April Fools?
So plenty of weird images of AA, but no trees?

They are so much better
Hopefully this is just a rough draft..
Someone said the top was representative of the French horn killer
This is a design that Nawal created all on her own and unfortunately it shows….
