Does anyone know if anything else has been added to the building since the pic above was taken?

I was at Eaton Centre yesterday (no camera unfortunately) and the sign is now completely up. It's an ad for the movie Superbad. Nothing else has been put up.

They were pretty smart (or lucky) to be the first to have an ad up...it got a lot of attention.

I believe this is a Sony Pictures Movie...

Superbad!!!

haha .. that ad looks terrible. I wanna see how the LED display ads will look.

At least they didn't put the frame up and have it sit empty for 6 months. I seem to recall empty signage at the Torch. Egads, could they possibly be putting up the signs as they sell the advertising space? It could be years before the grey is completely covered.

Seriously though, they closed down Dundas street and only managed to put up one back-lit sign?

 

[Mat'u]

are they doing anything else with it today?

Nothing wrong with being excited. The anticipation is usally a better feeling than actually seeing the crap after the fact.

This being a perfect example of that.

lets hope the LED dispays are a bit more appealing than the first ad that was installed over the weekend.

We are so excited, as the completion of this horror show has been so long in coming.

Expect to see many more backlit signs.

 

[Mat'u]

please, no more backlit crap

Backlit signs and even traditional front-lit billboards are common in media squares like this around the world. Besideds, all the fancy LED signs in the world won't save TLS from looking like crap.

 

[caltrane74]

lol!

 

[Mat'u]

I guess your right MisterF

It's really not that bad...in fact I think the massing is great. If that west frontage is covered with ads (the view from Edward St) then this building will be well, inoffensive in its grossly offensive way.

I find the ad ironic.

Was someone trying to say something?
