6. Specfic Description:
The northern end of the property
is dominated by the signage for the ESPN Zone sports lounge, located
inside the NY NY. The exterior signage is basically a theatre marquee
entrance with a long overhang supporting an electronic message banner
that reads from left to right. The majority of the theatre front
is polished aluminum wit h thin tubes of red neon above and below
the electronic reader board. Above the top edge of the actual front
of the sign is a design of pan channels, crafted and shaped to form
a complex background for the logo text spelling "ESPN."
A wavy green crafted channel creates what looks like a horizon.
The space between the marquee and the green channel is a black field
laden with incandescent bulbs. Above the green channel an array
of pan channels crafted into interlocking, swaying, pointed shapes.
They are painted yellow and orange so the result is a bed of flames.
These too are lined in the interior of the contour in red and orange
neon. In the center of the entire face of the overhand in a black
steel cabinet with the logo for the establishment spelling "ESPN
Zone." The First portion of the two-word phrase is spelled
in shallow channel letters lined with horizontal bars of white neon.
The text is outlined in red neon as well. The second half spells
"Zone," and is written in the same font with the "Z"
being the largest letter in the sign, designed with the bottom horizontal
leg underlining the rest of the letters in the word. The word is
oulined with white neon as well. The latter portion is filled with
horizontal bars of red neon. Situated along the middle of the sign,
and against the vertical plane of the building, a blade sign repeats
the design and colors of the bottom portion of the sign. The vertical
cabinet is double sided spelling the "ESPN Zone" logo
vertically with the same neon treatments for the respective words.
The three toned background of black, green, red and orange on the
bottom of the sign is interpreted on the blade. Running vertically,
the black portion laden with bulbs runs against the wall, with the
wavy channel next to that, disappearing temporarily behind the letters.
The flames hang off of the outer edge of the sign. All of the neon
treatments are seen here as well. Crowning the top of the blade
sign two circular cabinets are arranged touching each other at one
end, the faces pointing out to angled directions. Here the ESPN
logo is arranged inside a circle. The bottom half below the letters
is filled with horizontal bars of green neon, while the flames are
present on the top half. The same cabinets can be seen mounted on
the ends of the bottom overhang.

Notes: The
letters in the vertical blade portion of the ESPN Zone illuminate
one at a time, starting from the top. Once the entire phrase is
lit, in flashes off then on then off, before restating. The orange
and red neon tubing which resides inside the pan channels that represent
flames flash on and off in a relaxed manner as if to animate the
flickering of the flames. The small incandescent bulbs on the black
portions above the main matrix reader board flash on and off subtly.
