2 Legacy makeovers: Many legacy signs are being refurbished with more current LED technology, in some cases keeping their original design, while others are changing their look to become more visually competitive. At 290 ft. tall, the Prudential LED spectacular towers over the competition. The sign, a 20mm discrete Daktronics video display, was installed by NYC-based Landmark Signs & Electrical Maintenance Corp. in 2016.

Its improvements included converting a center LED display from a 4:3 to a 16:9 aspect ratio and transforming 10mm LEDs from lamp to SMDs to increase image clarity. Landmark performed the changeout in phases while the LED screen was still operating. PHOTO BY D3 LED 40 SIGNS OF THE TIMES JUNE 2017
