A solid cube of glass accented by faceted corners and a recessed stripe near the top help set this building apart from the generic office buildings of the 1990's. Though it's nice to have a signature tenant, the illuminated signage is a bit much on this building. If it had been left plain, it would have more impact. A smaller, offset logo would be a nice compromise.
