I’d be upset if I was Ally.

Yep, I’m really surprised Truist went there. Imo, no bank has a better name and unique color scheme than Ally.

Truist Purple

Well it’s lit.  Def not as standout on the skyline now.  It’s a dark purple.

Awww you beat me.

Looks bad and makes the building stand out much less.

Is it wrong for me to say that I preferred the old lighting scheme?

No, I agree.  It’s nearly invisible now.

Man, first this and now I'm worried that the Ellis may block being able to see the trading floor from Cordelia Park

[Crucial_Infra]

It’s possible it won’t remain purple all the time. In fact, that would be my guess.

Also possible that the building will get an upgraded lighting system in the future.

The dramatics. 

[Yeahdoug]

They need to light the whole thing up like LU.

From a company that built this? On purpose?  Not as a joke?  I am really surprised it's trash.  Really surprised:

^^ their Winston Salem HQ was the result of an acquisition of Southern National Bank and that was their HQ.  anyway here is the view from Winston and it seems Truist is hinting they could be the new sponsor for the Belk Bowl.

It looks like the skyscraper manifestation of the house on Randolph and Meadowood Lane. They wanted to build a castle but had no budget. Here they wanted to go PoMo, but only had enough for the half moon window.

again BB&T did NOT build this as it was built for Southern National Bank whom they merged with and actually BB&T seemed to prefer existing buildings and have anchored very new ones.  Different story with Suntrust.

Am I the only one that sees 2 H's? Oddly I have to focus to see the T's. I guess my brain is a little backwards.

I didn’t till now.  But I don’t even see the two sideways T’s at first either.  In this example, I see the white.  Like one capital T with the conjoined reflection of an upside down T.   I guess I interpret the negative space instead of the outline.   When I first saw the logo before reading the press release, that’s what I thought they were going for.  I didn’t even see two sideways T’s.

We should take a poll of who sees what.

I see back to back "C"s and was thinking Chanel's lawyers might want to give them a call.
