Silicon Valley needs more landmarks. We live in the most innovative place on earth, yet there is a severe lack of branding for the region. A while back, Hafid Alfonso proposed a dynamic
sign on the hillside that would serve as a beacon for the Valley. Now to keep the conversation going, he has partnered with the SJSU Engineering Honors Society to discover who has the best idea for a Silicon Valley sign.
The Silicon Valley Sign Art Contest runs until October 25th and the winner will be published on local media (including this site) and presented to a local Chamber of Commerce.

I really think this is a horrible idea that smacks of desperation - and is already done in the Bay Area in South San Francisco.

ReplyDeleteThis is such a stupid idea. Do you really think the best way to show off technological innovation is to build a ripoff of the Hollywood sign and destroy the natural landscape in the process?
ReplyDeleteI hope this ideas dies. It's so stupid IMHO.
ReplyDeleteWholeheartedly agree with others, this is a waste of time. Just what we need more encroachment on open spaces,light pollution, trails to the sign littered with trash, etc. Move to South City if you want a sign on the hill.
ReplyDeleteI couldn't agree more! This is just one of the stupidest things I've ever seen!

ReplyDeleteTwo thumbs up! I think it's a good idea. If we keep hating everything that's proposed, we're never gonna have landmarks for the world to see
ReplyDeleteOn the one hand, we need a highly visible landmark that people easily identify with our region. But this particular idea is dumb and derivative. We can do better.
DeleteThis is the dumbest idea. No one needs a Silicon Valley landmark. No one.
