Talk:Illuminated advertisements of Piccadilly Circus

When were the first advertisements put up? How does it compare with Time Square and parts of Tokyo? (ricjl 19:30, 9 July 2005 (UTC))

The signs have changed much more than indicated here. I added Nescafe changing to coke, but the coke sign used to be the left hand (flat) bit of the current sign plus the Macdonalds sign, then it was split when McDonalds agreed to sell coke in the restaurants I believe. I have an old photo (in copyright alas) which shows the Guinness sign, Indian airlines and Skol for example. Unlike Times Square I dont know of a good history. Justinc 12:07, 10 July 2005 (UTC)

I changed to six signs (Samsung, Coke, McD, TDK, Sanyo and the Bud strip). Not sure the Bud strip is illuminated any more, since it changed from whatever beer it was before, so maybe should be reduced to 5, will check next time I am there.Justinc 12:12, 10 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Changed to 5 illuminated signs, the other bits are no longer significant. Justinc 10:07, 18 August 2005 (UTC)
