Blown Away

More signage news from around the world from Hants and Dorset Signs as the First Tennessee bank likes to tout its strong capital position, but the strength of its skyline advertising needs some attention. In recent days, downtown visitors may have noticed that the large square structure on top of First Tennessee Plaza, at 800 S. Gay St., no longer bears the bank's logo.

The disappearance has nothing to do with the economic downturn, though. Instead, parts of the sign were damaged in last week's wind storm, with a company spokeswoman saying part of the sign flew off and landed in the street.

Jennifer Holder, a vice president at First Tennessee, said the sign on top of the 27-story tower - which is Knoxville's tallest building - is made of a vinyl-like material that's secured to a metal frame.

She said all four sides of the sign came loose in the high winds, but to her knowledge only one side of the banner blew off of the building. Holder said none of the metal came off, and noted that the bank's property manager assured her that the falling banner didn't pose any danger.
