From May 31 EDC Minutes:

B.1. Edmonton Arena District Block K Exterior Signage
Dialog Darrell Halliwell
P. Odinga presented the comments of the Development Planner.

MOVED: G. Renwick Motion of nonsupport
● The proposed signage does not have visual harmony and compatibility with the architectural character and finish of the development, as well as with the design, location, and appearance of the other Signs on the development.
● A comprehensive signage plan is required that shows appropriate integration of the entire signage package.
The Edmonton Design Committee would advise that future presentations of signage packages are complete and comprehensive for the entire facade.
SECONDED: C. Craig
CARRIED FOR THE MOTION: C. Craig, D. Deshpande, G. Renwick, W. Sims
OPPOSED: S. Kaznacheeva

Is that a motion for the Arena sign itself?

 

[Daveography]

@Das Ponto it's for K Block, and there's a separate submission for the casino signage, so I think it must be for either an Oilers logo or ICE District logo.

Poor S.O.B. backhoe operator, working on Father's Day and Sunday! His kids must be real monsters. That Bus Depot building is receding quickly. Happy Father's Day to any of you who are.

My inner sports fan and inner architecture nerd are both dropping the gloves and jerseying each other over which one likes this project more.
