30 Rockefeller Plaza is an American Art Deco skyscraper that forms the centerpiece of Rockefeller Center in Midtown Manhattan, New York City. Formerly called the RCA Building from 1933 to 1988, and later the GE Building from 1988 to 2015, it was renamed the Comcast Building on July 1, 2015, following the transfer of ownership to new corporate owner Comcast. Its name is often shortened to 30 Rock. The building is most famous for housing the NBC television network headquarters. At 850 feet (260 m) high, the 70-story building is the 14th tallest in New York City and the 39th tallest in the United States. It stands 400 feet (122 m) shorter than the Empire State Building.
The building underwent a $170 million floor-by-floor interior renovation in 2014. The renovation included new Comcast signage atop the building; new ground-level signage that reads Comcast Building; and, for the first time, the display of the iconic NBC Peacock logo on the building's exterior.
The building was completed in 1933 as part of the Rockefeller Center complex. The noted Art Deco architect Raymond Hood led a team of Rockefeller architects. It was named the RCA Building for its main tenant, the Radio Corporation of America, formed in 1919 by General Electric. The famous photograph Lunch atop a Skyscraper was taken during the construction of the 69th floor. The National Broadcasting Company, had both the Red Network and the Blue Network housed in the new building, which was also nicknamed "Radio City". NBC was the first national radio network in the country and was started by R.C.A. in 1926.
The office of the Rockefeller family occupied Room 5600 on the 56th floor. This space is now occupied by Rockefeller Family and Associates, whose offices span the 54th to 56th floors. John D. Rockefeller had a private vault in the basement of the building, accessible via a private elevator from his office.
In 1985, the building acquired official landmark status. The RCA Building was renamed as the GE Building in 1988, two years after General Electric re-acquired the RCA Corporation. Some still refer to the building using its old names, out of habit or fondness.
The building's address became the title of the NBC sitcom 30 Rock (2006–2013), which follows the cast and crew of a fictional television show filmed inside the building. Aside from two live episodes, which were produced at NBC's facilities inside the building, the series used the building mostly for exterior and occasional lobby shots, while interior scenes were filmed at Silvercup Studios in Long Island City, Queens.
From the end of 1960 through October 1993, the building's mezzanine level housed the New York City weather forecast office of the National Weather Service; it was relocated to eastern Long Island, on the grounds of Brookhaven National Laboratory at Upton, New York. KWO35, the NOAA Weather Radio station serving the majority of the Tri-State area, originally transmitted from atop the building and remained there until 2014. Due to interference with a U.S. Coast Guard radio channel, the transmitter was eventually relocated atop the MetLife Building. A weather radar station was also located atop the building (it was previously used as Doppler 4000 during WNBC-TV's local newscasts).
In June 2014, Comcast was granted permission from the Landmarks Preservation Commission to make modifications to the building to reflect its ownership of NBCUniversal. The GE Building would be officially known as the Comcast Building. Comcast planned to replace the neon GE lettering from the top of the building with a 10-foot (3.0 m) tall, LED-lit Comcast wordmark and NBC logo, and add a 17-foot (5.2 m) NBC logo on the building western's facade. Additionally, a new marquee was added to the Avenue of the Americas entrance, advertising it as the home of The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon. On July 1, 2015, the name change and new signage were made official.
The building is one of the most famous and recognized skyscrapers in New York. The frieze located above the main entrance was produced by Lee Lawrie and depicts "Wisdom", along with a slogan that reads "Wisdom and Knowledge shall be the stability of thy times", from Isaiah 33:6 (KJV). The vertical detailing of the building's austere Art Deco facade is integrated with a slim, functionally expressive form. The present exterior is recognized for the Comcast logo with the NBC peacock at the building's top. The famous marquees above the building's 49th and 50th Street entrances have been seen on numerous television shows, such as 30 Rock and Seinfeld. Unlike most other tall Art Deco buildings constructed in the 1930s, 30 Rockefeller Plaza has no spire on its roof.
Below the building is a shopping concourse, connected to the lobby via an escalator. The open lobby's rich materials and reduced black and beige ornamental scheme is enhanced by dramatic lighting. Granite covers the building base to a height of 4 ft (1.2 m) and the shaft has a refined facade of Indiana Limestone with aluminum spandrel panels.
The 65th floor of the building is an event room and restaurant named the Rainbow Room. It was revamped and reopened to the public with new operators until it closed in 2009 due to the economic downturn. The interior of the Rainbow Room holds landmark status, awarded by the New York City Landmarks Preservation Commission in 2012. Following extensive refurbishment, the Rainbow Room reopened in fall 2014.
The observation deck atop the skyscraper, dubbed "Top of the Rock", reopened to the public on November 1, 2005, after undergoing a $75 million renovation. It had been closed since 1986 to accommodate the renovation of the Rainbow Room. The deck, which is built to resemble the deck of an ocean liner, offers sightseers a bird's eye view of the city, competing with the 86th floor observatory of the Empire State Building 200 feet (61 m) higher. It is often considered the best panoramic city view, if only because it offers a view of the aforementioned Empire State Building, which cannot be seen from its own observation deck. The timed entry system and larger observation deck also results in shorter waiting times compared to the Empire State.
The SP prefix number plate would indicate that this Solo is a Scottish bus through and through. New in 2006 to East Scotland (Fife), this bus served with Fife until 2018 when it was transferred to the Strathtay division futher north and was a regular on the 206 in Broughty Ferry. In 2023, this bus returned to Fife, where it currentley resides.
One interesting thing of note is that this bus carries yet another variation of the 2020 Local livery with the wordmark set in black on blue, this is nonstandard for a Solo!
Damn! Is it only me or time is flying? Feb 1st already.. and this short winter days.. huh.. need much more time on a daily basis!
I know that toilet is kinda special place for almost everyone..sacred place..for some ppl even very creative place. I guess i`m one of them. This is exactly the same set up i have there. It`s like regular and common toilet equipment. Maybe funny, but lots of mine ideas are coming from there.. How about you? Drawing, reading, surfing, twitting from there? :)
Seems that gf & I will gonna move again. Hate that. When you finally buy everything you want and need you should move, so every next time you have a lot more stuff than the previous time and, naturally, more work to do. Being on rent is really a pain in the ass. At least, we`ll have a bathtub again, aside from a bloody shower and 3rd room.. woohoo :|
Belk logos from 1967 (left), 2007 (center) and 2010 (right)
The original 1967 Lippincott & Margulies-designed Belk & Leggett logos were an exceptional effort. They were distinctive, elegant, and went totally against the typical corporate logo trends of the times. The Belk font was custom designed and was rendered beautifully across multiple media. It signaled a revolution in the way Belk thought about its stores and image and served the company very well. It symbolized a company that was willing to dump its stodgy image and compete with the best in retail.
The Belk logo was especially handsome back in the Seventies when they still filled in the parts with various colors and had the bags with the overprint in all the shades. Even the “All For You” period wasn’t especially bad design-wise.
The 2007 logo does nothing for me, as I think it was change for the sake of change, and it symbolized a really boring, promotional period in the company's history that pretty much killed its image in former Parisian/McRae's markets.
When I placed the logos side by side, the 2010 logo makes a little more sense. The wordmark is derivative, as if the flower, but it's an evolution in style and image for a company that is willing to dump its stodgy image and again compete with the best in retail. I can even see a little of the old 1967 logo here and there on the new one.
Still, to me it doesn’t say “Belk.” The logo feels kind of ’70s. The flower is interesting, and the tagline is decent, but the logotype is a ripoff of Bloomingdale’s with a side of Macy’s with the flower positioning. It’s too “me too.” One of the posters to my Facebook page likened the flower to a logo on a feminine hygiene product.
The worst part, I think, is that this is the end of Hudson Belk and Matthews Belk, the last two links to the old partner names. That’s the part that irks me the most, because their interpretations of the Belk logo were especially beautiful.

SEPTEMBER 14, 2007 - For the last six years, I've run a marketing consultancy out of Seattle called SoundPrinciples. The company created branding, brand strategy, marketing consulting and materials for companies from California to Virginia, helped launch a number of companies and products, and won three top honors for excellence in branding, integrated marketing and print ads from the Business Marketing Association.
I named the company in 2001, in response to the flighty, excess-filled days of 1997-2000. So much has changed since then, but nothing more drastically than the field of Marketing.
For decades, Marketing was about talking about your value, interrupting people's business, "being heard" and being glitzy. The higher-end your Marketing, the more successful your brand must be, right? Companies, particularly my former Fortune 500 clients, invested hundreds of millions in promoting their brand in a noisy marketplace.
All that has changed, and through the power of Search and the Internet, customers' voices are as loud as those of marketers...often, they're LOUDER. Which means that marketers now can only influence the dialogue around their brands. There is no more tightly controlled message. And the more that open, honest dialogue by real people is out there, the more marketers sound like phony biased hucksters, whether they are or not. Very few marketers get this!
Consequently, Marketing must evolve and become something new. It still needs to tell the initial value story for a company, but it also needs to listen, interact, coach, guide and engage its market. It's not a monologue anymore, where the size of the megaphone determines market position. It's about reputation, conversation, openness, transparency, honesty and accountability. It's about dialogue.
So it's time to shift, once again. I am pleased to announce that SoundPrinciples LLC is now Brand Dialogue. My new focus will be on helping companies transition from being hucksters to being engaged members of their markets. I will continue to craft initial outbound marketing identities to give the market something to react to, but will also be equally focusing on providing brands with the tools, processes and technologies that will help them engage in dialogue: blogging, podcasting, social media, social networking, etc.
The thought behind the design
Creating corporate aesthetics is one of the most difficult exercises imaginable. First, everyone's a designer, right? But also, people react differently to aesthetics for a million different reasons. Quantifying tastes is incredibly difficult. Because of this, all design should be driven by strategy and grounded in a lot of smart thinking.
Dialogue should be energetic, so the brand colors are the colors of energy, the shades of fire: terracotta and maize, with a contrast color of slate.
The icon presented another challenge: how to represent dialogue? First, you need more than one voice. Secondly, they need to be interacting. Third, it should be an upbeat conversation where both parties get value. Fourth, both parties should be of equal size, implying equal importance. Finally: speech balloons have been done to death.
My solution was these two "Pacmen", which also form a BD. With one more rounded, and one more angular, they represent male and female. With them being different colors, they represent multiple races.
The two characters visually suggest quotation marks, as well. There's also an interesting arrow created by the negative space between the two characters. And when placed within the wordmark "Brand Dialogue", they become the two Ds: one at the end of Brand, one at the beginning of Dialogue. Where brand ends, dialogue begins.

I welcome comments, opinions, questions and reactions.
This is an HO scale model of VIA 8621, an ex-UP Budd slab-side baggage car. This is one of a series of cars that started life as Union Pacific RPO cars. They were acquired by VIA in the mid '90s and converted to full-baggage cars, with the RPO windows plated over (except one that was later un-plated as an emergency exit window). The cars are equipped with HEP and MU pass-through cables just like the HEP2 cars, and can be seen across the VIA system mixed with HEP1, HEP2 and LRC equipment.
I built the model on a Walthers core (a Budd coach), removing the sides and making several modifications to the roof and ends. For the sides, I started with American Model Builders laser-cut side Kit 1009. Those sides represent an ACF-built variant of the 5900 series of UP RPOs, which has an identical door and window arrangement to the Budd-built versions.
I cut away the basic skirting and steps from the sides, and then mounted them to the Walthers core. The slab-side fluting is made by Union Station Products. I made the framing for the doors with strip styrene, and added all the various grabs. The roof and underbody details were salvaged from other Walthers cars, and the end details were mostly scratchbuilt.
The car is painted with Alclad2 laquer ("Chrome" over a base-coat of Modelflex NYC light grey, glosscoated). Blue stripe and VIA logo decal from Microscale, all other decals from Rapido (they're the only ones who have done an accurate "Canada" wordmark and flag to date). The placement of the various logos is specific to 8621.
This is a recreation of the 1978-1990 logo for Zayre, a discount department chain that opened in 1956 and closed in 1990.
Custom build instructions for all Bronco models, including the 60th Anniversary are available from @buildmybrickbronco on instagram
On August 11, 1965, Ford introduced the Bronco and coined the phrase “sport-utility.” Over the past six decades, Bronco has redefined what an SUV can be with its capability and off-road performance. Now, Ford is celebrating that pioneering role with the 2026 Bronco 60th Anniversary Package.
The Bronco 60th Anniversary Package blends bolder colors and accents in the cabin, timeless visuals on the exterior, and the same uncompromising off-road capability owners expect. All so customers can enjoy a Built Wild SUV that’s fit for any lifestyle.
Bold Legacy-Inspired Design
Capability is core to Bronco’s DNA. The Bronco 60th Anniversary package starts with the Outer Banks series with either a standard 2.3-liter EcoBoost four-cylinder or optional 2.7-liter EcoBoost V6.
Only available with the Sasquatch package, which adds an Advanced 4x4 system with high-clearance suspension, a more aggressive final drive ratio, and electronic-locking front and rear differentials, this celebratory Bronco features 35-inch Goodyear rugged terrain tires matched with unique new 17-inch Gravity Gray alloy wheels. A contrasting Vermilion Red center cap with a Bucking Bronco logo in the middle and “1966,” the model year of the first production Broncos, on the outside ring.
The wheel design and the contrasting Vermilion Red center cap harken back to the original hubcaps on the 1966 Bronco.
A new grille draws inspiration from the original design but pairs it with Warm Alloy paint and modern Vermilion Red “BRONCO” lettering. Wimbledon White, a historic Ford color available on the original Bronco, is available with a matching roof. Customers can select a contrasting Ruby Red body with a Wimbledon White roof, as well.
A Vermilion Red graphic on the body sides starts at the front with the Bronco 60th Anniversary logo, while prominent 60th Anniversary badging, inspired by the same classic cloisonné badging found on the Mustang 60th Anniversary package, sits on the fenders and leaves little doubt about this special Bronco’s provenance.
And as with all Broncos, the Ford Design team has hidden an Easter egg or two for this special edition package.
Premium Touches
The Bronco 60th Anniversary package has the style and capability owners expect. But it’s bringing a richer, more premium cabin experience to market, too, with the combination of Ebony leather upholstery on the seat outers and bolsters, along with Alpine leather inserts and embossed 60th Anniversary logos on the seatbacks.
Alpine marine-grade vinyl arm rests add to the experience, and Alpine stitching on the leather-topped dash pairs well with Bronco Red accents on the instrument panel and grab handles.
The 60th Anniversary Package adds standard wheelbase-length running boards to aid ingress and egress and also introduces new A-pillar-mounted grab handles, available on all 2026 Bronco models. And at the rear, a new hard-center rear tire cover, finished in Wimbledon White and featuring a Vermilion Red “BRONCO” wordmark, introduces a more premium look to the rear of the vehicle, as does a matte black Ford badge on the tailgate.

To all clients out there.. Take your time, put some good and creative brief together. It really IS important for your project to be successful. Otherwise, it`s unfair to expect to see your vision matched..
p.s. i`m sorry for using so often pencils in my designs, but it`s kinda expected to see that from a designer and his daily routine, right? :p
Even if is not exactly the first weekend since this project has been started i`m still feeling it as a one small milestone. 10 days, 10 logos, new week..
I've seen these for years in the window. Actually more like decades. I finally walked inside and asked if I could take a picture. The woman at the travel agency ( I believe she was the owner) was more than happy to oblige. She even moved the table for me. While not the original clothes(she still had the originals but made these new ones for them) this pair is in excellent condition. I've actually got a picture taken from a Downey yearbook which shows one of these menehune's from the 70's or early 80's. They are very collectible. Here's a brief explanation
www.hydroponicsonline.com/store/RARE-Vintage-United-Airli...
Hawai'i would become United's most prestigious and most heavily promoted destination over the next 35 years. The carrier introduced Boeing Stratocruiser aircraft on its Hawai'i routes in 1950.As United entered the jet age with the introduction of the Douglas DC-8 aircraft in 1959, the larger and faster jets were deployed on the carrier's Hawai'i routes in 1960. The carrier launched non-stop flights between Chicago and Honolulu on August 1, 1969, and between New York and Honolulu on October 1, 1969. United's New York-Hawai'i route was the longest domestic route served by any carrier. By the early 1970's Boeing 747 and Douglas DC-8-71 aircraft (a stretched version of the original DC-8) were plying United's Hawai'i routes. It was during this time that United introduced the menehune mascots in the airline's advertising and promotional campaigns for Hawai'i.The term, "menhune" (pronounced meh-neh-hoo-neh) has its origins in Hawaiian mythology. According to Hawaiian folklore, the menehune were mystical little people who were dwellers of the deep forest and stood only about two feet in height. Legend has it that these little people were quite shy, but were master craftsmen and women who built temples (known as heiau), fish ponds, roads, canoes, and dwellings. Also according to legend, the menehune people only worked at night so they could not be seeing by other human forms. They were known to be very industrious in the cutting, transportation, and fitting of stones for their projects and were known to have worked in teams in a brigade-like fashion. The menehune people were especially adept at remaining unnoticed. Scholars have theorized that the term, "menehune" is rooted in the language of the Tahitians. The Tahitians settled in Hawai'i and were known to have oppressed the descendants of the Marquesans. The Marquesans were among the first wave of early settlers of the Hawaiian Islands and settled there approximately six to seven hundred years before the Tahitians had arrived. (The Marquesans originated from the Marquesas Islands, a group of islands that are situated in French Polynesia and are located approximately 850 miles northeast of Tahiti). Some scholars have concluded that the Tahitians defeated the Marquesan descendants in Hawai'i and then forced them into slave labor. Hence, the term, "manahune" in the Tahitian language is a reference to "commoners" or a lower class of people who were thought to have escaped oppression by fleeing to the mountainous regions of Hawai'i. Throughout the 1970's, when Hawai'i was United's sole destination served beyond the North American mainland, these iconic figurines could be seen in promotional displays at United Airlines ticket offices and in travel agencies throughout the airline's vast domestic network. This darling Hawaiian figurine is made of a plastic composite and stands approximately 23 inches in height (58.42 cm). She is the female counterpart to the male menehune that was also produced for United Airlines. She stands on a base that measures 6 3/4 x 9 3/4 x 3 inches (17.15 x 24.77 x 7.62 cm). The front of the base reads, "The Menehune of Hawaii" with "United Air Lines" in the wordmark that was reflective of the era of the early 1970's.
Big Changes happening to Disney in the future part 1
Attraction changes and company changes:
* Cinderella castle at Magic Kingdom at Walt Disney world will be renamed as Snow White castle due to the banning of Jumanji Lion Roars and Lucifer's Growl Hiss and Winter Warlock's evil laugh whereas Disneyland's Sleeping Beauty castle will remain as Sleeping Beauty castle.
* Both Walt Disney World's Snow White castle and Disneyland's Sleeping Beauty castle will have the roofs recolored red to match the actual castles in the Disney movies.
* Splash Mountain is being re-themed with 2009's Princess and the Frog due to that people want to forget 1946's Song of the South which was the Disney movie with the WORST racial stereotype.
* Disney will only establish their own subsidiaries instead of acquiring other companies.
* Disney will a new logo with the Disney wordmark in a Pinocchio font for the company to most focus on Disney history and movies that are extremely important to Disney history such as Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs and Pinocchio. The new Disney logo with the Disney wordmark in a Pinocchio font will be easier for people who couldn't see the the old current already existing Disney wordmark because the D in the old current already existing Disney wordmark looks like a backwards 6 however the D will be the only part of the old current already existing Disney logo will still be used as a symbol as when Disney upgrades and modernize their wordmark in a Pinocchio font.
* The online store ShopDisney.com will expand into Brick and mortar and will open up brick and mortar stores of their own.
* New Disney subsidiaries Al's Toy Barn, Pizza Planet, and Wacka Wacka Toys based on the Disney/Pixar Toy Story franchise will all be established in real life to compete (help out) with McDonald's, Toys R Us (ReOpening), and Thinkway Toys.

Movie accurate Buzz Lightyear action figures will also replace the old all-black Mickey Mouse ears hats since Movie accurate Buzz Lightyear action figures are extremely cool whereas the old all-black Mickey Mouse ears hats are so old and boring.
* Mickey Mouse's iconic red shorts will have the missing red suspenders added since Mickey Mouse's iconic red shorts are overalls and all pants with two buttons going horizontally up in the front including Mickey Mouse's iconic red shorts are overalls since pants always have the waist going all the way up to the chest if they have two buttons going horizontally up in the front. And Mickey Mouse will also be a Sesame Street character as well.
Each spring, thousands of government officials, journalists, civil society organizations, and participants from the academia and private sectors, gather in Washington DC for the Spring Meetings of the World Bank Group and the International Monetary Fund.

The evolution of the iconic Hawaiian Airlines Pualani logo over the years.
1973: Pualani "Flower of the Sky". First design by Landor Associates of San Francisco.
1987: The name "Hawaiian Air" was revised to simply "Hawaiian". Minor accents to the large hibiscus flower were removed.
1989: The titles were revised again to "Hawaiian Airlines".
1991: Pualani underwent a minor make-over, revising the background hibiscus and the flower in her hair ("star flower"). The 'W' in the Hawaiian wordmark was revised.
1995: Pualani was again revitalized with a white outline to her features and a revised flower in her ear (“pinwheel flower”). The Hawaiian wordmark was revised, softening the edges.
2001: Addison Branding & Communications of San Francisco introduced a radically new Pualani and wordmark for the launch of the Boeing 717 fleet.
2017: Lippincott of San Francisco does another radical revision to Pualani, removing the background floral design in favor of a modern sunset.
I`ve never been asked so much q`s. How, what if, where, when, and if i, will you, how this is, and what if there`s.. huh. Maybe it`s best to pass this one..
Btw, snake should be a tie-like shape..
SET 4 – Oxford Kroger, Post-Expansion
When last we saw the choice cuts department, the wall décor was looking a little bland, featuring just the simple wordmark beneath the thick black upper border (and to think: that’s actually an *extravagant* scene for Artisan, given the blue instead of white background!). Post-remodel, though, we find a welcome new sight: some extra animal illustrations added to either side of the lettering. You guys might recognize this situation from the Goodman/Getwell store in Southaven, where I mentioned we’ll be seeing plenty more examples of the Kroger Delta Division adding décor “extras” in future photosets. More specifically, you might also recognize these particular illustrations as hailing from an even older décor package, Banner, which is commonly used in Marketplace stores (but is also used in “regular” Krogers, too). Whereas Southaven got the whole farm (and ocean!), Oxford settled for only the cow and pig, as shown here (RIP chicken and fish).

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 :)
Trying hard to cope with everything..projects, daily designs, social life, promises.. February is gonna be a tough month..
First one as a self-explanatory? ;)
Edit: Actually i think i need to say that everything should be quoted. It`s not my thought, i`ve heard that yesterday. :)

Anther - My idea for this logo was to incorporate an organic shape into a modern typeface. The business itself is a gardening service for businesses, large homes, etc. I chose to go for a simple logo in which the symbol and the wordmark are clearly connected, which is why I made it so that the "A" can be used as the symbol.
Transit - This is essentially an online store which mainly focuses on imports of products not available in the U.S. It'd be a service to buy in bulk or for someone to find a specific product they wouldn't be able to find in the U.S market. The lines were added to give the logo a little more movement and the red and blue was just a simple color pairing I decided to include.
Dare Studios - This is a VFX studio for either small or big budget films. The "D" came from a series of changes and iterations. The initial logo looked completely different.
Club Esports - This is a logo I've been working on for the Esport club here at UTRGV. I was very dissatisfied with the current design for our mascot so I made it my life's mission to completely stray away from that. I chose to have the Vaquero facing forward and with a serious expression to show the determination of our collegiate esport players.

30 Rockefeller Plaza is an American Art Deco skyscraper that forms the centerpiece of Rockefeller Center in Midtown Manhattan, New York City. Formerly called the RCA Building from 1933 to 1988, and later the GE Building from 1988 to 2015, it was renamed the Comcast Building on July 1, 2015, following the transfer of ownership to new corporate owner Comcast. Its name is often shortened to 30 Rock. The building is most famous for housing the NBC television network headquarters. At 850 feet (260 m) high, the 70-story building is the 14th tallest in New York City and the 39th tallest in the United States. It stands 400 feet (122 m) shorter than the Empire State Building.
The building underwent a $170 million floor-by-floor interior renovation in 2014. The renovation included new Comcast signage atop the building; new ground-level signage that reads Comcast Building; and, for the first time, the display of the iconic NBC Peacock logo on the building's exterior.
The building was completed in 1933 as part of the Rockefeller Center complex. The noted Art Deco architect Raymond Hood led a team of Rockefeller architects. It was named the RCA Building for its main tenant, the Radio Corporation of America, formed in 1919 by General Electric. The famous photograph Lunch atop a Skyscraper was taken during the construction of the 69th floor. The National Broadcasting Company, had both the Red Network and the Blue Network housed in the new building, which was also nicknamed "Radio City". NBC was the first national radio network in the country and was started by R.C.A. in 1926.
The office of the Rockefeller family occupied Room 5600 on the 56th floor. This space is now occupied by Rockefeller Family and Associates, whose offices span the 54th to 56th floors. John D. Rockefeller had a private vault in the basement of the building, accessible via a private elevator from his office.[4]
In 1985, the building acquired official landmark status. The RCA Building was renamed as the GE Building in 1988, two years after General Electric re-acquired the RCA Corporation. Some still refer to the building using its old names, out of habit or fondness.
The building's address became the title of the NBC sitcom 30 Rock (2006–2013), which follows the cast and crew of a fictional television show filmed inside the building. Aside from two live episodes, which were produced at NBC's facilities inside the building, the series used the building mostly for exterior and occasional lobby shots, while interior scenes were filmed at Silvercup Studios in Long Island City, Queens.
From the end of 1960 through October 1993, the building's mezzanine level housed the New York City weather forecast office of the National Weather Service; it was relocated to eastern Long Island, on the grounds of Brookhaven National Laboratory at Upton, New York. KWO35, the NOAA Weather Radio station serving the majority of the Tri-State area, originally transmitted from atop the building and remained there until 2014. Due to interference with a U.S. Coast Guard radio channel, the transmitter was eventually relocated atop the MetLife Building. A weather radar station was also located atop the building (it was previously used as Doppler 4000 during WNBC-TV's local newscasts).
In June 2014, Comcast was granted permission from the Landmarks Preservation Commission to make modifications to the building to reflect its ownership of NBCUniversal. The GE Building would be officially known as the Comcast Building. Comcast planned to replace the neon GE lettering from the top of the building with a 10-foot (3.0 m) tall, LED-lit Comcast wordmark and NBC logo, and add a 17-foot (5.2 m) NBC logo on the building western's facade. Additionally, a new marquee was added to the Avenue of the Americas entrance, advertising it as the home of The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon. On July 1, 2015, the name change and new signage were made official.
The building is one of the most famous and recognized skyscrapers in New York. The frieze located above the main entrance was produced by Lee Lawrie and depicts "Wisdom", along with a slogan that reads "Wisdom and Knowledge shall be the stability of thy times", from Isaiah 33:6 (KJV). The vertical detailing of the building's austere Art Deco facade is integrated with a slim, functionally expressive form. The present exterior is recognized for the Comcast logo with the NBC peacock at the building's top. The famous marquees above the building's 49th and 50th Street entrances have been seen on numerous television shows, such as 30 Rock and Seinfeld. Unlike most other tall Art Deco buildings constructed in the 1930s, 30 Rockefeller Plaza has no spire on its roof.
Below the building is a shopping concourse, connected to the lobby via an escalator. The open lobby's rich materials and reduced black and beige ornamental scheme is enhanced by dramatic lighting. Granite covers the building base to a height of 4 ft (1.2 m) and the shaft has a refined facade of Indiana Limestone with aluminum spandrel panels.
The 65th floor of the building is an event room and restaurant named the Rainbow Room. It was revamped and reopened to the public with new operators until it closed in 2009 due to the economic downturn. The interior of the Rainbow Room holds landmark status, awarded by the New York City Landmarks Preservation Commission in 2012. Following extensive refurbishment, the Rainbow Room reopened in fall 2014.
The observation deck atop the skyscraper, dubbed "Top of the Rock", reopened to the public on November 1, 2005, after undergoing a $75 million renovation. It had been closed since 1986 to accommodate the renovation of the Rainbow Room. The deck, which is built to resemble the deck of an ocean liner, offers sightseers a bird's eye view of the city, competing with the 86th floor observatory of the Empire State Building 200 feet (61 m) higher. It is often considered the best panoramic city view, if only because it offers a view of the aforementioned Empire State Building, which cannot be seen from its own observation deck. The timed entry system and larger observation deck also results in shorter waiting times compared to the Empire State.
Lars Wallin is arguably Sweden's most well-known fashion designer, and the country's only true couturier. Royalties and pop singers alike proudly wear his creations, which are recognised by their elaborate detailing, exclusive materials and impeccable finish. After having created the Nobel Banquet gowns for Crown Princess Victoria in 2000, 2003 and 2006, and for Princess Madeleine in 2008, he can even claim to be a Swedish Royal Court designer.
After having extended his couture practice to include a jewellery line, Lars Wallin and his atelier decided to set out on a new exciting journey by launching a prêt-à-porter line. The vision was to create collections which would maintain the level of finish that has become Wallin's trademark, but to make them available to at a wider audience. Seeing that the waiting list is long for a couture dress from Wallin, and that these can cost up to €30.000 to make, wearing a Wallin creation had up to this point been a privilege enjoyed by a select few.
Lars Wallin commissioned Lundgren+Lindqvist to name the new line, and to design its visual identity.
The transition from couture to prêt-à-porter is indeed an exercise in reduction. With the naming and the new visual identity, our aim was to find a way of illustrating that while the ready-to-wear collection manifests a simplified form of Wallin's expression, the core of the designer's uncompromising approach stays true from one collection to the other.
The key to our solution was found in the designer's name and in the very center of the existing wordmark for the Lars Wallin atelier. With the distinct, two-part 'W' of the wordmark having been used as a monogram by the brand for many years, this constituted a reasonable departure for thinking about the new brand. When the left stem of the 'W' was once disjointed from its other half, in order to create the stylized monogram which has become synonymous with the atelier, a 'V' was left dead-center in the wordmark. In a way, the transition from a 'W' to a 'V' represented a perfect analogy for the journey from couture to prêt-à-porter. Since ancient history, the letter 'V' has been a symbol of femininity. In Roman and Greek mythology, goddesses were often given names starting with a 'V'; like Venus, the Roman goddess of love, beauty, desire, sex, fertility, prosperity and victory. It is also meaningful to the couturier in a more personal way as Lars Wallin was born in the Swedish city of Västerås, and got his first break as a designer when designing a dress for the famous jazz singer Sylvia Vrethammar. From a visual perspective, the 'V' also tells the story of the master craftsman, by resembling the pencil that meets the paper, or the scissors shaping the toile. It also carries resemblance to the champagne glass - a symbol of celebration and festivities, which has become the theme for the new line.
Consequently, 'Lars Wallin V' became the new name for the designer's prêt-à-porter line. As the 'V', albeit hidden, already had such a prominent position within the existing wordmark, our main challenge was to find a way of emphasising it. Wallin was keen on avoiding for the new brand to come across as too clean-cut or safe, especially since the new line, at least in part, is aimed at a younger demographic. The solution was to simply circle the 'V', as one would circle something to remember, or the best idea in a series of sketches. Without paying too much consideration to the surrounding letters partly overlapped by the intrusive circle, it becomes a symbol of freedom and youthfulness.
The project for Lars Wallin soon grew to encompass adjustments of the range of existing wordmarks for Lars Wallin Collection, Lars Wallin Jewellery and Lars Wallin Wedding, as well as a more comprehensive update of the visual identity, subsequently collected in a new brand manual. Lundgren+Lindqvist also designed a range of patterns, for use on textiles and in packaging applications and art directed a series of images of the new collection.

This is the picture of what the new updated sign for the Walt Disney studios will be like in the Snow White and Pinocchio rebrand with the new Disney wordmark in a Pinocchio font so it is easy to read the Disney wordmark and the new Walt Disney studios sign will also have Mickey Mouse with the missing red suspenders of his iconic red short overalls added and the Walt Disney studio will also use school buses as their tour vehicle and I even added the new traffic control light I have made with the easy recognizable shapes in front of the new sign so Disney knows about my safety improvements and collaborations with the red light at a traffic control light being reshaped octagon so it will be easier for people not to enter on red and octagon is the only shape meaning of "STOP" and the yellow light being reshaped a sideways trapezoid with rounded corners on the wide end and pointed corners on the narrow end and the green light remaining a circle because out of shapes of traffic signs, octagon means "STOP" and sideways trapezoid with rounded corners on the wide end and pointed corners on the narrow end means "SLOW".
