Wachovia Sign now a Reality

Sunday, August 3rd, 2008

One side of Wachovia Capitol Center’s rumored sign has been put into place. The southern front of the building received the Wachovia logo and lettering first, and the western facing sign will go up in the next few days. Apparently, only these two sides will have signage. I did a mock-up of this last March, which you can see here.
