I wonder what Ted's sign for the Torch is going to look like?
I couldn't disagree more. One of the things I like about this building (and I am a supporter of this project) is that at this point they do not show a logo on the project. In my opinion the best buildings in the city do not have Billboards on the buildings facade. TD centre is completly identifiable withouta company logo. FCP looked much better before the change in logo (I didn't mind the oringal one because I thought it was tasteful). CIBC looks terrible with the companys initials. For a better idea of what I'm talking about please see any project owned by Ted Rogers.
The old CIBC logo would have looked classy enough, like how it used to be on 2 Bloor West. The new one is horrible - "let's just put our initials on top of a swoosh - now that's a logo!"
The architect, Carl Blanchaer from WZMH, was also on the panel, which also discussed the elimination of the side fins and associated lighting from the design, partly at the behest of of KPMG, who felt it their views would be compromised. <snip> In place of the fins will be a short glass extension up above the top floor on all four sides.
We'll talk about this at the meet filip.
