Something interesting about Hollywood

Did you know that the iconic Hollywood Sign originally read “Hollywoodland”? Erected in 1923 as a temporary advertisement for a housing development.

In 1949, realising it’s importance it was decided to leave it in place with the last 4 letters “LAND” removed”

This historic landmark has since become a symbol of the entertainment industry and is one of the most recognizable signs globally.

Its transformation from a real estate promotion to a cultural icon underscores the profound impact that signage can have on shaping public perception and identity over time.
