Font is too bold making it appear blocky - not attractive.
Viewing from the south the letters are so large it makes the building look shorter and blockier.

Only from a random, subjective distance.

In counterpoint, it's almost too small to read from 71. Could be larger and blockier so it's more visible from a distance.

I reiterate my suggestion that Three Light should simply have a stylized "3" on top of it. Very cool and understated, imho.

Can we revisit the red light green light on top of three and four?

Does anyone else think this building looks pretty good?

I do

I like this side of the building best and think it would have fit best into the overall skyline view from the south.

I think it looks great from a distance. Can't wait to see three, four, five, and 6 lights

I haven't really seen it from far off but I do like it up close...very girthy. Hoping the covering of the parking garage goes well.

Yeah, I'm interested to see what the parking garage screening looks like as well. I also am looking forward to walking along Truman Rd to see how that pedestrian experience feels. This (plus 3 and 4 light) is THE key connector to the crossroads. Looks good so far.

I think it looks really nice in person. It doesn't always photograph well, but I like it.

Hopefully they still put the angled accent piece on top like the rendering. Doesn't look bad without it, just seems like it would even it out a little bit.

It's in the image on their website, that seems like it means it's more likely to be added than not.

It doens't look structural so it could be put up near the end.

I think that was an earlier rendering and what is there now is the finished product.

Some shots from further out, I really love how it's added to the skyline.

Everything about this looks great but am I the only one thinks that the "TWO LIGHT", with the bolded "TWO" looks odd? Especially since the One Light sign behind it isn't matching.

So how many months until Three Light groundbreaking?

Yeah I'm worried about the non led screen portion...but that's BS of the city shuts that part down.

Shouldn't the city have already approved the LED screen when the final development plans went thru Planning, full council, etc? Or are digital displays subject to a seperate review?

It'd be idiotic to deny the screen, it helps inject a kinetic energy that is sorely lacking all over downtown right now.

Two light tower crane is coming down today according to their twitter account. Does this mean three light ground breaking is coming?

Won't break ground this year.

Do I hear spring 2018?
