US Bank?

Is this the US Bank building?

The reason I ask is because I saw an article about US Bank putting a sign up, on a building at 12th and Wyandotte.

The wife and I were driving home 2 nights ago from up North and I asked her what sign that was just down and to the right from KCPL...I had never noticed it before. When we got closer we could see it said US Bank. Then it made sense...

we went right by that building today and I didn't see a sign.
the building is called 1200 Wyandotte. The US Bank Building (or Tower) is the one that is being renamed and converted to residential. It will be called Walstreet Tower right?

The sign went upabout a week ago. It's kinda hard to read at night until you are close but it's at least a new light on the skyline.

Oh its a light? I was there in the middle of the afternoon, so no wonder i couldn't see it

You can actually see it during the day as well.I saw it from a few blocks away.It's on the opposite of the picture posted above.

It's giant "US bank" lettering at the top of the building on both the north and south sides. It lights up at night but is plainly visible by day. The "US" is red, the "bank" is blue. From a distance at night it looks like a purple blur.

Had I been thinking, I would have taken pictures of the guys hanging the letters.
