6. Specfic Description:
Two legs, in the shape of an "A"
with a pole running up through the center, support a black, internally
lit message center. The face of the cabinet is two sectioned with
a larger portion sitting below a smaller section. The smaller top
section has neither a face nor a backing. The interior parts lie
exposed to the elements revealing the internal workings. Growing
out of the center of the cabinet, tall thin internally lit rectangular
cabinet runs into the sky approximately fifteen feet. The cabinet
is designated into twelve sections by steel borders. Plastic red
letters, reside inside this row of panels, horizontally spelling
"White Sands" in all capital letters, with one space between
the two words and one below the last word. At the very peak of the
sign, a triangular shape, with a rounded top, appears to be bak
lit also. A smaller section sits on top of this as well. The tall
cabinet, the peak, and the top antenna, are lined on the edges with
raceways and incandescent bulbs. The resultant effect all of the
pieces together is an image of a rocket or missle. Next to the drive
on the streets edge, a small red, internally lit, message center
faces north /south. The white flexible plastic face is treated with
red text, and a logo for the establishment. Across the top of the
cabinet "Entrance" is spelled and "Motel" across
the bottom. The White sands logo is a red half circular shape with
a white silhouette of palm trees, and "White Sands" across
the top edge of the half circle.
