The logo was designed specifically for the marketing of this tower, not the entire complex. Silverstein would have to create his own if he wanted a specific WTC logo.

That’s going to be another big, you know, special day. Pretty much from here on up, everything’s special, you know?”
“Just to be part of something that’s going to be the tallest building in the nation and a monument to all the people that lost their lives down here. As an iron worker, you couldn’t ask for a better place to work,” Murphy said.
In a matter of months, the tower is expected to “top out.” That’s what it means when the last steel beam gets put in place. After the spire is added, One World Trade Center will be the tallest building in the United States at a symbolic 1,776 feet.

Nearly there: Freedom Tower just one floor away from becoming New York's tallest building

The skyscraper being built to replace New York’s Twin Towers is about to officially become the city’s tallest building. The new Freedom Tower reached 100 floors on April 2 and once the 101st floor is completed it will stand at 1254 feet, four feet taller than the Empire State Building. This picture of the famous New York skyline shows how the Freedom Tower is about to take its historic place as the city’s new giant. The Empire State Building then became New York’s tallest skyscraper, but now the Freedom Tower is set to regain the title for the World Trade Centre site.
