6. Specfic Description:
A vertical white steel pole represents
the pylon for the establishment. The pole incorporates a backlit
message center, and a series of sculpted cabinets to create a complete
advertisement for the smaller property. The base of the sign is
a white steel pole, whose progress is halted by a backlit message
center cabinet. The cabinet is not actually a single cabinet with
two sides, but two separate cabinets, sandwich the pole. The sign
is flag poled off of the structure being off center. The sides of
the cabinet possess the low, sweeping, convex, negative space seen
on the Sommerset shopping center sign. The bottom half of the face
is occupied by the by the white internally lit face, with vinyl
lettering. The top half is painted a maroon color with "Somerset"
painted on the surface in white paint. Neon hovers over the surface
of the text. Jutting off of the south side of the pole from the
center of the cabinet, another white, steel pole travels for a very
short distance, before turning into a sculpted double backed steel
cabinet. The small cabinet is designed with rounded bottom edge,
and a recessed negative shape on the top. The bulge on the bottom,
is the positive form of the negative space at the top. The result
is a pseudo U shaped display. Vacancy is spelled in white graphic
text on the surface of the cabinet. Neon tubing spells "NO"
above the painted text as well as the tubing hovering over the graphics.
The white pole shoots upward, being interrupted but a series of
five horizontal steel poles. On the south end of each one of the
poles, the U shaped cabinets are present. Each cabinet holds one
letter from the word "Motel," starting with the "M"
at the top. The letters are painted in white and bordered on the
edges with neon. The borders of the face of each one of these cabinets,
is lined with neon as well. The north end of each one of the crossing
members is a small maroon, circular faced, cylindrical shaped cabinet,
with white edges. Neon is bent into the shape of a four-pointed
star. The vet top of the [pole is crowned with a double backed cabinet
in the shape of a prismatic, seven pointed star. The faces of the
cabinet are convex, with each facet of the star being it's own separate
plane. In the very center of the star an incandescent bulb resides.
The surface is treated in a white and maroon paint finish.
