M&I PlazaM&I Logo Milwaukee-based M&I Bank didn't waste any time erasing the First Indiana name from the 31-story tower where the homegrown bank had its headquarters. The old sign disappeared this week, shortly after M&I closed on its $529-million acquisition of First Indiana. The bank plans to put signs on its new locations on Feb. 4. The installation of the tower sign will take longer because of its massive size. How will the new name look?

    Sweet. That old sign looked horrible. I hated that typeface. Good riddance.

    this may be a good chance to do something unique with the lighting.

    It is always interesting to see companies adapt their corporate logo to fit existing architecture. I don't know that a big cabinet sign would look appropriate. The might have to lose their box logo, although the font would be easy enough to reuse.
