Location: Entrance

“Growing up in Dallas, I have witnessed much of the development and evolution of Love Field. Strong in my visual memory of those experiences is the entrance sign that used to be on Mockingbird Lane. Because of the modern Mondrian quality of that sign, I always identified the airport with a strong contemporary design. For me it set the tone and told the public that Love Field was forward looking and aware of its importance.”
