Really? The other signs, like many modern signs, consist of each individual letter being extruded. This is just a logo printed onto a white panel and back-lit. It looks dated and cheap.

Agreed. The Pickle Barrel sign could not be cheaper without it being dissoluble in bad weather. It looks terrible. Most greasy spoons have better signs.

Hmm.. I guess I just don't have an eye for signs like everyone else here. To me the SilverCity one looks worse. I mean.. it doesn't look good by any means, but I guess I don't see what everyone else sees, just looks like a standard retail sign to me.

Their terrible sign is in accordance with their terrible service. Been there twice, and both visits were awful. Not giving them a chance for a third strike.
I've been to several other PB locations, with no complaint.

There are 12 in the entire country. Define several.

That doesn't actually seem that hard, as they are all in the GTA. I can think of 4 in Toronto alone (Yonge&Dundas,Yonge&Eg, Sherway, and Yorkdale).

More than a few.
I've been to their Centerpoint Mall (five or six times), Vaughan Mills (twice), Promenade (once), Bay-Atrium (many times -- one could almost say "several" times), Markville Mall (once), and Yorkdale Mall (once) locations.
What can I say, I'm a sucker for an all-day breakfast.

It's what happens when you don't know much about good architecture.

Forest green cladding??? Are you kidding me?
They're going to turn the extension into a giant pickle.

That space could have (and should have) been nice, if they would have put even the tiniest bit of effort into it. It could have made a great outdoor patio for a restaurant or a nice public square but I'm not opposed to what's going there now.
