“Just show them the rejection from our team and let them know that the city had opinions about their sign and remind them that Starbucks came by and tried to go through the process and they made some changes to their, you know, they come.”

“Yeah, it was, Starbucks is just an example. It was extremely frustrating for us, you know, through seeing Wynwood change and ultimately, you know, They made some sacrifices in the artistic. They put a mural in front, which was, to me, not that great, but they made an effort is the point that we're trying to make. Whether it came out at the end good or not.”

“I'm saying, I don't know, guys, the bottom of this canopy, they could ask the landlord for permission to maybe do something at the bottom of the canopy or use the edge of the canopy or use the columns. I mean, there's a thousand things that they can do. We're reacting to the sign. We're not giving them advice on art.”

“To argue towards your point, which is important, is that what happened with Starbucks is they came back, they were supposed to come back and show us the change or just do a mural. And the mural that they ended up doing wasn't that great. So it was like a double whammy where we had a bad sign that was, not a bad sign, but a corporate sign and a bad mural. So it ended up being... the outcome ended up being worse because we argued for a mural that ended up being not that great.”

“Usually we get, you know, like you'll put something up on the screen so we can look at it. Okay. I mean, I can give you what I have. It's fine. I have it here. I don't know if the rest of the guys have copies. But just in the future, make sure to bring something so that we can put it on the screen and see it.”

“This is a, so it's a flat piece of acrylic that gets, that's, that lights up from the back, and then it says the coffee dot and then Asian letters?”

“But is that whole white plastic going to be illuminated from the back?”

“I personally like it, but I think that there's a code issue with backlit signs like this one. There's a precedent image, there's a precedent example that was approved by the WDRC a couple years back, which is the 1-800-LUCKY sign that is similar to this one. I just don't know how the rest of the board feels about not following the Wynwood Design Review Board, you know, code and compliance with signage and backlit lights. Yeah, so it's, it's a, so it's this white thing, and it's a backlit,”

“I would just, this is, if you guys have a different opinion, you can, but I would make a motion to reject it for the sole purpose of having people come prepared to present their signage with all of the details, precedent images, the relationship to the code compliance with, you know, Wynwood requirements, and all of that good stuff. Like I said, in the past, there have been signs that have been approved that are just like this one, but it doesn't meet the current code requirements, and we have to have an explanation for why you're proposing this sign. similar to what PrintPro just presented.…”

“I personally like the sign. I have nothing against it. What I have a problem with is... that we don't get paid to be here. And I think that it's important for people who come here to take it seriously and take their time. And you could cancel and say, I'm not ready, and reschedule. So tell your office next time if you're not ready or there's some sort of cancellation. There's emergencies. They happen.”
