The long gone, but not forgotten Pan Pacific Auditorium and its "Streamline Moderne" style front facade that found its way into movies ("Xanadu, Funny Lady") and architectural landmark status...I constructed this out of bits and pieces from older images (prior to the 1989 fire that completely destroyed the PanPac, of course); gave everything a "painting feel", and added the lettering "Art Deco" instead of using the lettering style as seen in most photographs...

Wonderful "reconstruction" and I love what you did with the type. One suggestion, though, would be to rotate the image by about 2 degrees to gain the strength of right angles.

I recognized this from Xanadu.. Love that movie. Love what you've done, though i agree with Alexis, i might have rotated it a bit more.

Great job ; )

In this is love: not that we loved God, but that He loved us and sent His Son to be the atoning sacrifice for our sins. 1 John 4:10
