Welp...let's take a look at that:

UrbanToronto Rules Of Conduct

UrbanToronto Rules Of Conduct We think UrbanToronto is a wonderful resource and we want it to continue to grow. However, as in any community, anarchy can result without rules. These are the new UrbanToronto Rules of Conduct. Please familiarize yourself with these rules. Registration - Only...

...now, outside of posting porn (illicit material), there doesn't seem to be an anything that quite covers this. Not to say there is, it's just not something specific to that from what I can gather. Maybe there was a presumption that posters would post their pics in good faith by abiding by the given laws and boundaries from where they are taking those pics from. Who knows...perhaps this maybe a time to update the CoC to include this. And maybe one that requires legal advice just how to go about doing that...something I imagine will take a little bit of time to make sure those "t's" are crossed and "i's" dotted when spelling that out.

I am in the boat that where I think this horse has been beaten, hung, drawn and quartered here. Until we hear from admin on this, there's not really much more to say that hasn't been already clearly said and discussed, IMO. Maybe ping admin privately till you get a response instead? Mr. 42 always answers my private correspondence in the anecdote.

...in the meantime, just stick higherupJ's sorried buttcheeks on /ignore, I guess.

As you (and many of us) have said: " Until we hear from admin on this, there's not really much more to say "
 
Although this thread has really devolved into a discussion that is off-topic and likely belongs in its own thread; I will have to say that entering a construction site to post urbex photos like those posted earlier in the thread is a risk I cannot take myself, partially because my personality is not one to take a risk with heavy potential consequences.

Anyways, here are some photos I took of CIBC Square yesterday afternoon:

Is the tint of the glass slightly different on phase 2 or am I seeing things

...I am assuming that's something to do with where towers are positioned on the horizontal in those shots. That is, Phase 2 seems darker than Phase 1 in the first shot and lighter in the last.

The signage installed on the building appears noticeably different from what was originally depicted in the renderings. Did they decide to go a different route with it?

These look great. Thanks for sharing. The shot from just north of Front there, just on the University offshoot, really shows how these fill in this vista.

Oh, okay. Thanks. I wasn't aware that they changed their logo.

That's funny. It was one of the most high profile brand refreshes in Canada in the last 10 years. They teach it in marketing school as the perfect way to do a successful top to bottom brand refresh.

That said... their 1985 logo was their best one.

:p

Well, I’ve been living outside of Canada for the past 18 years, and it’s only in the last few days that I’ve started reconnecting with Toronto’s architecture scene, so understandable that I missed the change. 🤷‍♂️
