what is the purpose of keeping this entry way in the middle of the park again as there is no studios back there any more?
It feels weird having the logo of the park you’ve already walked into on a now random area inside that park. They should have had the sign say ‘Animation Courtyard’ or ‘Hollywood Courtyard’ or something for place-making’s sake.
As is it’s kinda like if there was a big ‘Wonders of Life’ marquee they left up for the past ten years but changed it to just say ‘Epcot’ instead.
I still think it needs the Grauman's Chinese Theatre icon. They used it perfectly on the in-park banners and trashcans there for awhile. Not sure why they didn't stick with it!?
I did a ROUGH (Seriously bad) mock-up using a similarly stylized icon. Not at all great but it does, IMO makes the entryway facade feels more compete. (Pardon my MSpaint doodle skillz) Accented with very stylized, stone relief "icon" and "film cell strip" tiles both to tie into the tile work already used and because it adds more trope-Hollywoodness without being too on the nose. Whereas before where the "logo" was just type, now the Hollywood typeface has a complimentary icon above it to make the "logo" complete and balance out the facade.
There's so much space above Hollywood it's a shame they can't come up with something to fill the area.

It's supposed to be illegible... do they could change the perception of the name, without changing the name to CineMagic or something equally awful.
And then that person should slap around the Kaleidoscope person with a kaleidoscope.Whoever came up with Cinemagic should be smacked around for a good five minutes.
It has sconces on the sides but there’s really not much continuation of the art deco theme on the arch sad”Man. That’s a let down. I also prefer the old logo.
Yet here you areQuite an uneventful moment. Not really worth the chat. Not appealing to kids at all.
Alright photoshop wizards, how about, "A Salute to all movies but mostly Star Wars"
Without the most iconic characters, how else would you know you're in Star Wars land?
