NPS has never looked better, IMO. The sign should stay, and they should implement some permanent colourful displays to contrast with the dull, lifeless, endless slabs of concrete.
Sounds very "Moose in the City". Another idea copied from another city we thought was good branding (which wasn't).
Successful branding should begin with an original idea. And then you have to come up with a good original idea (not as easy as it sounds). And the word "TORONTO" in giant led letters scattered around various tourist spots isn't just unoriginal and tacky...it's redundant.
Perhaps we should just play it safe and buy another Moore?
Great for Torontonians, not so great for tourists. I think it should stay in one place (I like where it is now) so tourists can find it. They don't want to go on a treasure hunt. When I go to Chicago, I know where to find the Bean. When I go to Philly, I know where to find the LOVE sign. When I visit Toronto, I'd want to know where to find the sign without having to do a bunch of research to find out where it is now.I still say the sign should move around. People get bored with anything that is permanent. By moving the sign around, you'll get excitement in some other part of town "where will the sign show up next?!?!?!?!?!?!" and when it gets back to Nathan Phillips Square, everyone who thinks it should always be there will scream for joy again and rush back down to City Hall to scuff the sign up.
See, by moving it around, everybody wins!

Exactly! If you move it around it will just confuse people, including tourists. In this selfie-obsessed world, what better promotion can this city get? Millions of people will be taking selfies in front of the sign and promoting the city for free. Keeping it right where it is, will help to make the sign more iconic. Once you have the perfect location, why screw it up?Great for Torontonians, not so great for tourists. I think it should stay in one place (I like where it is now) so tourists can find it.
