Description
The Octapharma Plasma center sits at 1732 Fremont Street in Downtown Las Vegas. Information about the sign is available in the Southern Nevada Neon Survey Data Sheet.
Site address: 1732 Fremont St
Sign owner: Octapharma Plasma Inc.
Sign details: The original construction year of the building is 1977. This located opened as an Octapharma plasma donation facility in 2010. Octapharma was created by Wolfgang Margurre in Switzerland in 1983 to create plasma products to help save lives.
Sign condition: 4-Relatively recent renovation of their roadside sign and their entrance sign still has bright colors
Sign form: Roadside sign and entrance sign
Sign-specific description: The roadside sign is a long thin steel rod coming out of the ground with a sharp tip. (almost looks like a big toothpick coming out of the ground) This portion of the sign used to be red from the previous owners of this property when it was named "Pyramid". After 2011 Octapharma had this portion of the sign painted blue for them. Close to the sharp tip of this sign there is a sign box that holds plastic backlit signs. For Octapharma it is a white plastic background with blue "Octapharma Plasma" in block type letters. Above their entrance they have blue plastic channeled letters spelling out "Octapharma Plasma" which is backlit making it illuminate blue at night.
Sign - type of display: Back lit plastic sign
Sign - media: Steel and plastic
Sign - non-neon treatments: LED and Plastic back lit signs
Sign environment: This property is far East Fremont on the intersection of Bruce Street which is about a block from the main intersection of Eastern and Fremont St. This location has many motels surrounding it as well as some convenience stores.
Sign - date of installation: Main roadside sign was repurposed for Octapharma around 2010 so this sign does date back to at least 2007
Sign - date of redesign/move: Roadside Sign redesigned for Octapharma around 2010, with repainting the red portion of the roadside sign blue.
Sign - thematic influences: This style of sign is very similar to the sign that PublicUs has which is just about a block West of this company. These signs are similar with both being re-purposed and repainted when their company started to use their sign as well as the thin steel base and the back lit plastic sign.
