tierwestah Posted October 21, 2008 Share Posted October 21, 2008 I just wanted to know what everyone thinks of the new lighting on the crown of the Continential Building. Personally, i miss the blue lighting with the Continential logo but i still like the new lighting because its a little more pronounced. Does anyone know why they stopped the blue lighting? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

musicman Posted October 21, 2008 Share Posted October 21, 2008 looked cool from the 2nd floor of high fashion fabrics. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karick42 Posted October 21, 2008 Share Posted October 21, 2008 I noticed it last night while I was over at U of H. I liked the blue a lot as well but I don't have a problem with the new one they have.What does it look like now? I've not been out late in some time.If I remember correctly it's just white but I think it actually makes the Continental Building stand out even more now because the blue seemed to blend in more with the night sky.

houstonfella Posted October 21, 2008 Share Posted October 21, 2008 I noticed the new lighting on my way in this morning. Very cool. Much better than the blue. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GovernorAggie Posted October 21, 2008 Share Posted October 21, 2008 I've noticed it too. I like it much better! It definitely has more impact on the skyline. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HtownWxBoy Posted October 21, 2008 Share Posted October 21, 2008 I've noticed it too. I like it much better! It definitely has more impact on the skyline.Wow I didn't know it changed...

Houston19514 Posted October 22, 2008 Share Posted October 22, 2008 This post was recognized by Highrise Tower! Houston19514 was awarded the badge 'Great Content' and 1000 points. I've been wondering about that as well. I prefer the blue with the logo. I was wondering if the equipment that does the logo projection was damaged by Ike...

CoolBuddy06 Posted October 22, 2008 Share Posted October 22, 2008 Is it just me? I like the blue more. This new one is more visible but the blue is kind of cool with the logo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
feufoma Posted October 22, 2008 Share Posted October 22, 2008 I noticed someone welding on the lights last Friday night. I believe they're just repairing the lighting-it'll probably revert back to the blue/ logo, which is a good thing IMHO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jayshoota Posted October 22, 2008 Share Posted October 22, 2008 I noticed it a few nights ago. I like the new lighting and hope they keep it. Looks really sharp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tierwestah Posted October 22, 2008 Author Share Posted October 22, 2008 ACTUALLY, last night driving downtown, i officially decided that i like the new lighting. It makes more of a distinction in the skyline. However, if they do end up going back blue, i hope they use a light blue that's just as noticable as this.

totheskies Posted October 23, 2008 Share Posted October 23, 2008 I like the white lighting just fine... especially b/c it's one of the ONLY buildings that has outward lighting now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gardenoaksguy Posted October 24, 2008 Share Posted October 24, 2008 It used to be white before Continental moved into the building and changed it to blue with the logo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Houston19514 Posted October 24, 2008 Share Posted October 24, 2008 It used to be white before Continental moved into the building and changed it to blue with the logo.That is correct. But I think these recent white lights might be slightly different from the old ones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Houston19514 Posted October 25, 2008 Share Posted October 25, 2008 different?Yes, different. (but only slightly so). I don't recall the "bands" of light being quite so sharply differentiated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scarface Posted October 25, 2008 Share Posted October 25, 2008 I just saw the lighting last night. I'm with the OP, I like and miss the blue but I like the white just as much, if not better. I mean the blue lighting was so dim you could barely see it anyway, not to mention, you couldn't even see the projected Continential Logo. For years i've been asking what the point was of even having the logo if it couldn't be seen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoolBuddy06 Posted November 2, 2008 Share Posted November 2, 2008 If anything all the blue light needs is to be a little brighter and the logo sharper, instead of glowing like embers. The white is only just better than nothing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Metro Matt Posted November 14, 2008 Share Posted November 14, 2008 (edited) My guess is the blue lighting was damaged by Ike. Possibly lenses that got blown off exposing the white sodium floods underneath. Edited November 14, 2008 by Metro Matt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HtownWxBoy Posted November 14, 2008 Share Posted November 14, 2008 My guess is the blue lighting was damaged by Ike. Possibly lenses that got blown off exposing the white sodium floods underneath.Hopefully... I don't know why they could change it. The light was blue b/c it's Continental's building... it matched their logo. Why would they change that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
