It is a great photo, though! Some serious photoshop skills, too!

Gotta start somewhere I guess. The snow-capped mountains look exaggerated though.

Are they still doing tours of the building on the weekends?

SpongeG · #**2407** Posted **Feb 17, 2009, 7:31 AM**

^^^ until april

I also notice that it's the -only- logo visible in that picture. TD, RBC, and BMO all appear to have been deliberately blurred out.

I don't like the placement of this logo... Logos tend to look odd when they're placed on the middle of a surface and not on a corner (the RBC Olympics signs are another example of poor placement).

officedweller · #**2409** Posted **Feb 17, 2009, 7:39 PM**

That's probably more a function of the location of the original "ROYAL BANK" signs used to be on the tower - even the shield logo was a bit off centre because of that.
The Olympic ones are really just poorly designed.

Yume-sama · #**2410** Posted **Feb 17, 2009, 7:41 PM**

Hah, I didn't even notice they edited out the other logos. Good eye.

Kind of a peculiar thing to do.

Metro-One · #**2411** Posted **Feb 17, 2009, 7:43 PM**

So when is the Shangri-La logo going up?

jlousa · #**2412** Posted **Feb 18, 2009, 4:47 AM**

The logo isn't going there.

If they were going to put it on...I bet they would have it up while
the construction rather than after.

Metro-One · #**2414** Posted **Feb 18, 2009, 5:25 AM**

I just came from downtown tonight, the new Bell logo looks great, but i could not believe how non-eventful the Shangri-La was. I could not even see the fins, the building just seemed to tapper out to darkness as if it were in permanent fog! They really need to put some lighting features on it, even some nice simple white light would do or even a red beacon on the top would add something! It is sad that our tallest "signature" tower is so under presented at night. Jlousa's comment intrigues me though, where else would they put the logo?

officedweller · #**2415** Posted **Feb 18, 2009, 6:10 AM**

There's the "gogo dancer" cage at the top on the southeast orner.

Metro-One · #**2416** Posted **Feb 18, 2009, 6:11 AM**

haha, a logo there would look awful and fins would remain pointless at night.

There is a logo going up, but don't expect it any time soon; the support structure for the logo is not even in place yet.

Also Metro don't worry your little tush off, this tower isn't done yet...

Metro-One · #**2418** Posted **Feb 18, 2009, 6:16 AM**

hehe, ok, i will trust you

officedweller · #**2419** Posted **Feb 18, 2009, 6:17 AM**

Doubt that the fins would be lit up at night - it would probably drive the penthouse owners crazy.
I think that's the only place for a logo that is isolated from view from the penthouse suites.

jlousa · #**2420** Posted **Feb 18, 2009, 6:18 AM**

Apr 22 seems to be coming soon.
