It used to be that companies would fight for the opportunity to have their names on the outside of office buildings -- every little bit of advertising helps, the reasoning would go.
I was just on the phone with a friend at a large company (which shall go nameless...) who told me why this practice may be waning -- due to international terrorism...
Why advertise your presence if this could make you a target for terrorism? The friend cited a number of examples where his company and others had been removing signs from properties they inhabit in order to be (or at least appear) proactive in protecting their employees.
Will the future bring vast anonymous office parks where it is hard to tell who the tenants are in any of the buildings?
