Holiday Inn Strikes Back

Recently the downtown Hilton underwent a face lift that features a new coat of paint with contrasting shades and long angles (invasion stripes?). It is an eye-catching design that I really like and other people have taken notice as well. Lord von Lord pointed out the “pilsner glass” outline from the interstate, no surprise coming from that sot. Not to be outdone the Holiday Inn has undergone some changes as well. They also have a new paint job, sans fancy design, but it is an improvement and they perfectly mismatched tones just as they had before so you still get the khaki on khaki look. Steve Irwin comes to mind.

A redesigned logo is featured on signage that is bright green and white. The most noticeable change occurs at night when you can see the lights.

The green lights remind me of Imperial Beam Weapons, just saying. It looks pretty cool passing by and it’s too bad you only get the visual effect half of the day. Hey, at least they’re trying. Still no word on the cutoff time for their turkey dinner.
