What where they smoking when they thought this would be aesthetically a good thing?

They have apparently been told not to illuminate it 'until further notice"!

I'd agree if this was a different project, or if the sign was more tasteful, like a Deutsche Bank sign, AKA less less and noisy, but the sign highlights the "hat" of the crown which tops this building, which remains a weakpoint in the design IMO.

Now imagine if they put this on the Harbour Plaza towers in Southcore, one of their best projects to date, and much taller/prominent.

Nothing screams "high class" like an extra-bright illuminated sign on the top and a Tim Hortons on the base.

They took the scaffolding down. It doesn’t look like they adding a sign to the south too.

The TTC repaired almost all the margins on King when Church/King was closed. They clearly missed out the block from Yonge to Church!
