I have always seen the Frost tower as Austin's signature tower cause in some way the tower resembles the capital "A" for Austin. It must've sunk in subconsciously or something and just naturally fits in for an Austin tower.
I also feel that in the coming years Austin will have more iconic towers but the Frost tower will never lose its appeal or its mark as Austin's first signature tower. Look at NYC 🗽 for example. There is the Chrysler building, Empire State Building and now the Freedom Tower.
Funny that San Francisco is mentioned cause I felt there really wasn't any other signature tower besides the Trans America Pyramid, unless you include the Coit Tower and the Ferry Building. But those aren't real skyscrapers, I think. The now under construction, Transbay Building will probably serve as the second signature tower.
