I thought I saw that the signage was off last night and figured that this would start anytime.

There's a Kiewit Construction management trailer in the back (A) lot. Â Is this related to the signage work, or is there other construction work going on at the Clink? Â Its not flood stuff, the trailer just showed up this week.

It looked pink today. TD's was pink for sure.
They said they were programmable. Â May be they are messing with it.
While driving back from Ashland today, my wife and I noticed the Qwest signs up on I-80 (and I'm sure there are more on I-480 and other highways and streets). Â I wonder who will be paying to change those signs and when they'll be switched out? Â BTW, "Centurylink Center" will take up a lot more space on those green highway signs!

WOWT just said I 408 will close this week to replace a "large sign over 480 on the Missouri River" I bet it has something to do with this.
Not just CenturyLink Center - TD Ameritrade Park Omaha hasn't made it to any signs yet either. Prolly not a stretch to say NDOT was waiting to kill two birds with one stone.
Instead, the road work will take place Thursday, November 10th. Eastbound and westbound lanes of I-480 will be closed at the Missouri River from 8 p.m. to 5 a.m. on Friday, November 11th.
The work was delayed due to the rainy forecast for Monday night.
Officials say they need to close he interstate to install a permanent sign structure.

Yea, it looked like they put new tiles because they were a slightly different color. I wish I had snapped a pic, but i guess it doesn't matter as it will be covered by the logo.
Judging by the pictures, I am assuming that the letters are not neon like the Qwest Center logo was. Â I think the new logo looks alright but as mentioned on here before, the Qwest logo was pretty much perfect for the building, especially with the big "Q".
According to this rendering it appears that the logo is backlit, the "centurylink" part is going to be white, the "center" part green, Â and the "omaha" part white. Â I just hope that the lights below have green lenses on them similar to the way they had blue with the Qwest logo.

I am not sure if it was mentioned, but the blue/purple spotlights will alternate green/white/green/white all the way around the arena. Â I think that's going to look really cool!

Good to hear, I figured they weren't going to leave it blue.

I disagree, the blue/purple looks better with the design and color of the building. Adding more green and white will detract from the main sinage. Plus now it looks just like TD Am's lights. The blue and green look fine together, just not with the green strip lighting.
