Wilmington St. It is great having a non bank logo in the skyline. The skyline looks old and blah as it is.

When you have to yell, nobody listens. When you whisper, everyone does.

Does it light up at night? Is it translucent in good sunlight? I'm not sure what to think of it. Personally, I didn't like the 'wing' that used to be on the building anyway. I don't necessarily miss that. I have some resignations about the size of the new sign, but I could see myself eventually getting used to it.

Sorry, but they should have opted for a brand new - and much taller - building, designed to accommodate an impressive and powerful logo. The red sign does nothing to create a positive image, nor it stand high enough to make an impact from the money shots. Ladies and gentlemen of Red Hat, I applaud your decision to move downtown, but what the Hell were you thinking when you approved this sign? It doesn't do justice to Red Hat and surely doesn't make people think of you as an innovative company. This comes from a Linux user, not a Micro$oftie :LOL:
