[...] I expect better from them.

Better from Cadillac Fairview?

 

[salsa]

It looks really sloppy and too busy to me. Hudson's Bay and Saks duplicated, the middle Saks signage looks like a taped on addition (perhaps it looks OK in person). Might be a perspective issue too, but honestly, I expect better from them.

Is there a single piece of signage anywhere that CF hasn't screwed up?

looks nice, but was it really necessary to repeat those 2?

It used to be the Eaton Centre. Now it's the CF Toronto Eaton Centre for those who choose malls based on corporate ownership and/or those confused as to what city they were in. I'd personally like them to take their tinkering to its logical conclusion: The Cadillac Fairview City of Toronto Eaton Centre Shopping and Entertainment Complex or the CFCTECSEC for short.

Yeah, but the sign is for Pusateri's at Sak's Fifth Avenue so it should really be PASFAATCFCTECSEC, or "The Pasfaatec" for short.

You guys left out the Olympic Team crap too. They actually put a sign up to proclaim their support on the Yonge Street office tower frontage. Can't wait to see what part of the CFCTECSEC will get new signage next!

So - it's open right? Anyone been across yet?

Apparently there was a media unveiling at 8:00 this morning:

A few posts are on Twitter using the

Here’s the finished signage:

They’ve moved the 2 larger signs up by 1 window pane, so the signs aren’t sitting on top of each other anymore.

Here's a first look. Overall impression is really well done. Glass is perfectly clear and basically invisible. The arch adds a dramatic flare and the glass/cortan transition works well, if a little bland on the inside where the panels are white. Good views into and out of the bridge.

CF needs to clean the Saks window beside the bridge - all the dirt ruins a great view!

We've got our front page story up here with the opening ceremony.

And for those who were wondering how it connected to the Bay's facade, here's a close-up of the glass "collar" that acts as a standoff for the bridge's structure:

Nice pics. With third one I finally get the pattern - a square transitioning to a circle. Very neat.

Lived up to the hype! Gorgeous.

Time to give credit where credit is due. As much as Cadillac Fairview is criticized, they did a very nice job here.

Well, I guess we should be lucky that Cadillac Fairview doesn't make movies, otherwise we'd be getting: "CF: The Avengers 4" and "CF Star Wars: The Last Jedi."
