Giant letters spelling out "Wells Fargo."
People are beginning to spot the signs that Wells Fargo will soon make its mark on Uptown Charlotte's skyline.
Why it matters: The bank expects its name to be in place on the 550 South Tryon building later this year, a spokesperson tells Axios.
Driving the news: A reader recently shared a photo of the 14-foot-tall letters sprawled out — some covered in what looks like blue tarps. (They requested anonymity because they took the photos without authorization while at work.) Many others have noticed the building's "handlebar" looks like it's been prepped for the installation.
Catch up quick: Wells Fargo got the city's green light last year to hang two huge signs spelling out the bank's name atop 550 South Tryon St., formerly known as the Duke Energy Center or the giant martini glass.
What they're saying: Opinions are mixed and passionate about how the logo will impact Uptown's image. Will it look cool and urban? Or tacky and reminiscent of a CVS aisle?
