Ezra Winter’s 1929 hand-painted Michigan mural at the Guardian Building. Though the Red Wings logo (which dates from 1932-1933) is often said to have been ‘made from scratch,’ there’s a lot of similarities to the emblem under ‘Commerce’ on the right-center of the pic.

    Somehow it looks great in gold and white as well! Cool find.

    Nice. I haven’t been back to Detroit in some time and I don’t believe I’ve seen this one. Thank you OP.

  3. I thought the logo and name were taken from a team in Ontario somewhere.

    Is there anything in this building anymore, last time I was there they had some weird shops, a coffee place and what looks like a bank that was closed. Seems like a waste of a bad ass building

    The shade of not including most of the UP. Is there any other geographic feature that gets ignored more?
