New Detroit Signs: Opinions

[southen]

The problem is they compared it to arguable the most famous sign in the world. They oversold it and of course it was going to disappoint. If they simple said they were adding some signage to beautify the entry into the city nobody would complain. Instead those putting out the press release embarrassed themselves by going with the comparison that they did.

I don't mind it. I may have done something cooler for $400k but it isn't bad.

The City put out an almost perfectly accurate rendering upon the announcement back in February. It's also $400k for this sign and 6 other smaller signs at the City's borders. Way better than a blue bridge that sorta has a football shape to it.
