Toronto Sign

The Toronto Sign is an illuminated three-dimensional sign in Nathan Phillips Square that spells the city's name. It is 3 metres tall and 22 metres long, lit by LED lights that can create an estimated 228 million colour combinations. Originally installed for the 2015 Pan American Games as a temporary attraction, it became so popular with tourists and residents that the city decided to keep it.
