It's there, but subtle. Look to the granite wall to the left of the big planter on the Woodward / Campus Martius roundabout corner. You'll see the circular logo etched on the wall.

Maybe they couldn't afford the big sign atop the building? Or they traded that off for the balconies their exec offices have on the top floors...

I'm glad they don't have tacky signage all over the headquarters.

Yeah - just noticed the big blue (and very tacky) "Vicente Cuban Cuisine" added to the exterior. The wording doesn't even match the previous signs.

^^^ and the sign is impossible to read from any distance at night. Just one big blue eyestrain.

Why couldn't/shouldn't Compuware have like a sign on top? Maybe something that isn't distracting and visible from campus Martius, but that would guide people to Compuware who are maybe driving in from a ways a away.

Blue signs are a sign...heh...of inexperienced sign makers!

That is the hardest color for us to see, while that yellow-green they make fire trucks and street signs in is the easiest.

Especially at night...


Charlottepaul,
You would need stilts for that sign to be read as a beacon for compugeeks seeking home...plus, didn't people complain about the red Mariott signs on the way top of Tower 200 (NW, am I right on the number?!) just a few months ago?

Most of them will have their Yahoo or Google maps downloaded onto their Crackberries anyways!!


Cheers!
