Trump...I like the Loews because it's designed. <br />Trump's is just some gaudy, bold, serif font. That's why it won't become an icon, much less Hollywood sign.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10923291.post-40970587149302923892014-07-18T10:08:02.643-05:002014-07-18T10:08:02.643-05:00Mr. Tacky, Meet Mr. Tasteful.Mr. Tacky, Meet Mr. Tasteful.jacknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10923291.post-24344266649135853962014-07-17T23:28:38.299-05:002014-07-17T23:28:38.299-05:00^OOPS site not sight.^^OOPS site not sight.^Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10923291.post-67277031672221171792014-07-17T13:56:26.263-05:002014-07-17T13:56:26.263-05:00The Loews sign is properly scaled, unlike the mons...The Loews sign is properly scaled, unlike the monstrously scaled TRUMP<br />sign. Hopefully a developer will build<br />on the sight south of the NBC Tower<br />soon, then I won't have to look at the<br />LOEWS Tower and the LOEWS sign every time I cross the Michigan Avenue bridge.

I'm really quite perplexed by this rectangle treatment.
