April 20, 2012 – This is the new sign that will sit at the top of One East Wacker Drive, now known as the Kemper Building.

It was made by Landmark Sign Group in Chesterton, Indiana, and will soon make the 138-mile journey to downtown Chicago. With the help of a Sikorsky twin-turbine helicopter, the sign will be installed on Sunday morning beginning at 9 a.m.
