My biggest problem and fear is about Corporate logos, signage and eventually growing beyond our control and then naming buildings and parks in our system.
The "slippery slope" is a valid concern -- but I have a hard time understanding how the Park Board would lose control of the situation, assuming the contracts are drafted properly. Or how the Park Board could lose control of naming buildings and parks.
My bottom line is no external signage at all (and minimal, tasteful internal signage). The Lake Harriet Bandshell is jewel, a true visual icon for Minneapolis. If DQ can live with that restriction, then I think a "win-win" solution might be possible.
