Update: Two letters on USA Today’s sign were knocked down by Hurricane Sandy
The AP and other news outlets on Monday reported that the A was blown off USA Today’s headquarters sign in McLean, Va., but spokesperson Heidi Zimmerman tells Romenesko readers this afternoon:
Letter down!
It was actually both the D and the A in TODAY off of the USA TODAY sign that faces the front of our building on Jones Branch Drive. The letters are approximately 5′ by 3.5′. What fell is the plastic covering over the electrical part of the letter. So — if you drove by right now during the day — you could still read it but you’d definitely know those two letters look “different” because their cover is missing.
