Black and Yellow Sprint Sign

Lamar Advertising is in hot water with the Pittsburgh Mayor's office because of the Black and Yellow Sprint sign that is over the old Bayer sign. The city says there are not legitimate permits filed for the ad and it is suing for it to be taken down.

This is a great example of what not to do when advertising a product. Sprint is being painted in a bad light because it looks like the company is doing something illegal. Being sued by the mayor's office does not look good and probably makes people reconsider using Sprint as a mobile carrier. If I was the company I would want the sign to be taken down so I did not look bad anymore. Hopefully Lamar Advertising and the city can work something out.
