40' Motorola Cell Phone, Times Square

Theme: Signage. Notes by Mark Lentz.

Consider the Motorola sign, which features two, 40-ft.-high cell phones that communicate to each other via what seem to be LCD display screens, but are actually 6-ft.-high LED videoscreens.

The two signs talk to each other with a series of dry statements.Curious pedestrians watch the conversations switch from screen to screen. (from Times (definitely not) Square, by Louis Brill, www.signweb.com)

A notch is cut out of this sign to accomodate another ad, as shown on this Russian New.York.Ru site.

This page requires a 6.0+ browser for the pictures/text to display correctly. If you have an older version of Netscape, Explorer, or AOL, the text will appear cut off and the pictures distorted.

Site Tips: If you have Explorer or AOL (recent version), and a mouse with a scroll wheel, you should be able to move the mouse anywhere over the text at right and scroll it with the wheel, so you can still see the picture while reading.

Most of the pages have a large version of the main picture which you can make your wallpaper by first clicking on it to download, then right-clicking and choosing "Set as Background".
