It looks like an eggplant skin held up by pick-up sticks w/ a stringy toupee.

^^ Speaking of how to "Do It" - I'd nominate Nashville (Sig Twr) for that.
Signature is cool looking...I'll give you that, but that po-mo art deco look was big about 20 years ago. I just can't see Paris clamoring for something that looks like it was designed for a big southern city in 1988.

I think this will be a classic.
