Modis (Wells Fargo) looks like what you would get if you asked a three year old to "draw a building" in 1970.
I didn't say it was impressive, but I realize that the mentions of Jacksonville could very well be for different reasons. Of course aesthetics is the most subjective reason and that's completely a matter of personal preference, but from my experiences, most who have criticized Jacksonville's skyline have said something to the effect of it not being fitting or big enough for its size. That's really not the case when compared to its peers but the attractiveness of its individual buildings are in the eye of the beholder.
