The lettering is OK - but the vertical slats look way too long.

The Keg sign should be 2x as big IMO, or a different backdrop to make it pop.

Maybe they'll stick a cartoon piece of steak on the slats and maybe a lobster?

Red Lobster would be nice, but I would also like to see a McCormick and Schmick's in Vancouver.

They are replacing their failed japanese concept Ki Japanese with the Keg that moved out of thurlow. Location is upstairs across from JG Market (which I wouldn't be surprised if they were on their last legs as well).
