Toronto glowing 3D sign

Glitzy, glamorous, stylish; tourist-attractiveness …Show more

This illuminated three-dimensional sign in Nathan Phillips Square in Toronto, is 3 metres (9.8 ft) tall and 22 metres (72 ft) long (prior to the addition of the maple leaf and the medicine wheel lol), lit by LED lights controlled via Wi-Fi that can create an estimated 228 million colour combinations, approximately equal to what the human eye can sense.

Originally installed for the 2015 Pan American Games as a temporary attraction meant to be dismantled in November 2016, the City of Toronto decided to continue to operate the sign after it became popular with tourists and residents.

A 3D maple leaf was added to the Toronto sign adjacent to the final "O" in December 2016 to mark the 150th anniversary of Canadian Confederation. It was modified again in 2018 to mark National Indigenous Peoples Day. The change added a 3D medicine wheel adjacent to the first "T" and new vinyl wraps for each letter consisting of a birch bark pattern with various First Nations symbols on them. The wraps were removed, while the medicine wheel remains.
