New panels mid-installation, February 9th
Here’s a closer look at the station itself, without any pesky signs in the way. I liked how this turned out :) You can see that the fundamentals of the new design are up… and as I said earlier, there’s really not that much difference. You’ve still got the Shell branding at the corners, against a yellow background, with a red stripe (although the stripe itself had yet to be installed on this day!). The major changes are that it’s now the Shell logo, and not the wordmark, that’s presented as the branding… and the yellow is bordered on the top and both sides by a white stripe, which in my opinion adds a bit of freshness and modernity, cleaning up the look.
EDIT: There may not be much difference between this new look and its immediate predecessor, but there is a definite difference between these two looks and the more classic Shell design of the 80s! Check out this photo, supplied by l_dawg2000 in a comment on another pic in this album. What's more is that, if you look closely at the sides of this Hernando station's canopy in-between the removal of the old paneling and installation of the new stuff (for instance, as can be seen in the very next photo), you can see a square labelscar on the edge closest to the convenience store... almost certainly a relic of that gray look from that old linked photo! Pretty cool...

These places are public so these photos are too, but just as I tell where they came from, I'd appreciate if you'd say who :)
