The reason this sign looks better is because there is an actual place for it IMO. the trump sign was sort of just stuck on the side of the building. but none the less, a sign is a sign

I'm not raging on the Trump Sign just because everyone else does or because trump is a self absorbed prick, the trump sign looks like its trying to be fancy or something, and there is no frame. It's like writing a random word on a blank piece of paper in the middle of the page. This one is just a block lettered sign with a proper frame. Now signs, especially high in the skyline kinda suck. But if you're going to put one there make it look good.

Trump sign isn't that bad. There I said it.

If we didn't know who Trump was.. I'd say I very much like it. Flame away

I don't think it's THAT bad either. I don't think it's great either by any stretch of the imagination. Trump is an idiot when he said it would be like the Hollywood sign.

So when you posted this, I was like, "I don't get it? Is he slow or something?" Having just now noticed the Photoshop job, I realize that was a question better aimed at myself. Thanks for the chuckle.
