Sign animation: Chasing, flashing, oscillating
Notes: The horizontal neon bars chase each other from bottom to top, and the incandescent bulbs oscillate rapidly. The two, rosebud type figures in the rear of the property also animate in the same fashion. The incandescent bulbs in the logo text above the old porte-cochere also oscillate. The bulbs in the faceted fascia below the old porte-cochere oscillate rapidly. The two, logo/text signs on the new porte-cochere are also filled with incandescent bulbs that oscillate also. The crest item that sits on the southwest corner of the building is lined with incandescent bulbs that chase downward, down raceways, running the length of the building. The bulbs chase all the way until the end of the tracks. The logo, above the bulbous plumage, on the east face of the southernmost tower is also filled with oscillating incandescent bulbs, while the neon bars and incandescent bulbs on the plumage below the text chase upward from bottom to top.
