Kolano Design has shaped how Pittsburgh's tallest building presents itself, from the skyline to the front door. The work includes the high wall letters at the top of the 64-story tower, the multi-tenant pylon sign on Grant Street and the redesigned lobby with its environmental graphics.
High Wall
High Wall Sign · Pittsburgh, PA
Kolano Design designed the high wall signs at the top of the 64-story U.S. Steel Tower, Pittsburgh's tallest building. Kolano sized the 20-foot letters, presented the plan to the Planning Commission and coordinated structural, electrical and installation work for signs read across the skyline. Kolano continues to support the signs with face replacement and LED upgrade reviews for the tower's management.

Pylon Sign
Exterior Signage · Pittsburgh, PA
Kolano Design designed the new tenant pylon sign at the U.S. Steel Tower, 600 Grant Street in downtown Pittsburgh, for Winthrop Management. Kolano reworked the tower's identity pylon to carry tenant panels for retailers and offices in the building, gathered sign-off from each tenant, and prepared bid drawings for removing the old pylon, reinforcing its foundation and installing the new monument sign.
