Committe Discussion Points

  • shrink sign to 110in from 118in to respect building facade and entrance
  • birds nests with the open frame?
  • sign looks accidental, was a projecting sign considered?
  • entrance to building is too nice to cover up (windows), retro design to the glass block is a really interesting element that might need to be retained and not covered up
  • lighting the entrance/doorway suggested to owners
  • sign should not cover up glass block, make the sign "float" (suspend from the ceiling or sides) or possibly a verticle marquee sign or projecting sign used instead
  • remove the brushed aluminum background and just use the infinity loop and suspend it from the top or the sides.
  • thats why the original sign was up so high, to not take away from the full facade and glass blocks at entranceway
  • suggests cleanings up brick work and glass to owners
  • light up the glass block inplace of the led illuminating.
