Anyone know if the new lettering on the building is being revealed today? I noticed the Wachovia's around town are showing off their new signage.

I couldn't see a thing with all the smoke.

I work on the southbank and I just took a peak and the building is still bare. They stated it would be up by the end of the summer.

Wells Fargo just signed a 13 year lease for the building.

Great news on the 13 year lease.

But man, the Wells Fargo signage showing up around town is just AWFUL.

Ugly beyond belief.

Bordering on visual plight.

+1,000,000 ugh!!

The signage is not ugly, it is SCAREY AS HECK. The first sign I seen at night, I just imagined the wicked witch of the west in the carriage on her way to get Dorothy. It is very creepy to say the least.

I kind of like that one company has signage that looks a bit different form all of the power blue logos.

signage = small potatoes...very, very small potatoes. They signed a 13-yr lease; that's GOOD.
