COMPLETE: GTECH Center

[dgreco]

An earlier rendering seems to suggest signage on the western face of the tower:

I actually like the logo--too much larger and it might start looking like a tacky billboard (that's really out of pedestrian view anyways). In this case, understated is probably best. I would rather see some street level signage/banners to "mark" the building.

The tower does seem a bit "Tweeter" or "Walgreen's" in appearance. Some interesting illumination might give it more character. What was the architect trying to accomplish with this element?

In the image you can see almost indents I guess, where you could picture something moving up or down on, what exactly are those things? in this image 2 of them are actually visible.

I assumed those were supposed to light up, but I've never seen them do so.

It's Lit!

I haven't seen the new logo on the building yet, but from the photo, call me a fan...

I think it was known months ago when they presented the design to one of the city organizations (the CPC or zoning maybe?) that the logo for the building was going to be simpler, cleaner, and classier than their current Star Trek:TNG-eqsue logo...

I believe what you are seeing is a search light on Francis St. I could be wrong tho...

The cube is kind of lit but I don't think its working right - just yet. Its changes color every two seconds or so. Kind of like a gtech techno party in the sky. I like the logo lit up though - it looks nice.

I take it back. I just looked again. It looked like a searchlight before, but could've been headlights dancing around all the glass.

looks like we are driving the westin cam this evening :-D

I posted two video clips of it here. I love it, it's awesome!

Nice post Cotuit, I had no idea they were planning any kind of light effect but it really looks awesome, totally completes the building!

very cool, plus they get bonus points for having theirs lit the same day it went up. Unlike the Hilton.

The cube looks amazing right now, I dont even think they need to add anything to it, this makes this building look 100x better. I am so happy about this
