Philly Skyscraper May Soon Get Signage

PHILADELPHIA (AP) ― A plan by Unisys Corp. to put its name up in 11-foot-high red illuminated letters on a landmark Philadelphia skyscraper is drawing protests from luxury condo owners.

The city administration says the signs would be a great way to advertise that Philadelphia is becoming a better corporate home.

But the condo owners in Two Liberty Place have only recently begun moving into the top 20 floors of the 58-story building. They say it would be like putting McDonald's arches on the facade of the Philadelphia Museum of Art.

A Unisys spokesman says the company went the extra mile to make sure the signs don't reflect into people's homes. He notes they will have black lining to reduce glow from the light-emitting diodes, or LEDs.
