Original Epcot logo back in topiary form!

[Figment82]

Please forgive me if this has been posted earlier today (I just got off work and tried to wade through the threads as best as possible), but while eating lunch by the Fountain of Nations today, I happened to look over at the back of SSE. Behind the Siemans lounge and Project Tomorrow, in that little garden area that faces the tip board, the original Epcot flower logo has been recreated in topiary form. I almost spit out my drink when I saw it!

Give me a few moments, and I'll post a photo.

Seeing signs (even small ones!) of EPCOT returning brings such a smile to my face...

 

[SDav10495]

Day-um, that is one fine topiary.

OK, now I'll assume this is just a decoration they're doing for the 25th and I won't get my hopes up about an official return of the old logo beyond that celebration.

But, uh...ya gotta admit, that's a pretty good sign.

Nice! It's great to see EPCOT get some love for its 25th. :sohappy:

What a way to end my evening. Thank you both for the pics.

 

[TheDisneyMagic]

Wow that sure looks beautiful, they do amaze me when they create topiary's like these.

I was JUST there, and I missed it!! Alas. It will have to wait until my trip back in Oct.

NO WAY! That is awesome. I can't wait to see it in person. I LOVE EPCOT!

 

[PoTCGuy]

Awesome! I'll have to check it out when I'm there in a few weeks! Thanks!

Oh mah gawd.......wandless spheres, replanting of palm trees, and flower logos.....the 21st century really is 25 years old! :ROFLOL:

This is so awesome, and I hope they keep it yearly on a seasonal basis that is....between the flower and garden fest....unless the flower logo will become the logo for the flower and garden fest?

Behind Spaceship Earth, the flower bed logo was featured for many years, right up until the big changes made to EPCOT Center in the mid 90s, when the topiary was replaced with the caplocks form of "EPCOT".

I wish they would repaint the earthstation blue again......so much more cool, clean cut and appealing IMO

Cool! I just hope they fill up the inner portions with different color flowers. That would make it look even better.

Flamingos???

 

[Epcot82Guy]

So true. We used to love the Flamingos as kids. I really like this whole integration of the old and new. I think there be some interesting approaches to Epcot ahead!

 

[EPCOT Explorer]

Wooooooooooooooooot!I'm so glad to see Epcot getting some TLC!

Only a month to the big 2-5!

 

[joel_maxwell]

this is slightly bizarre. ill have to get a picture of that with me infront to compare the one from 20+ years ago.... if i can find it.

 

[imamouse]

The new topiary should fill in nicely in time for Oct 1. Glad to see some SIGNS of the original 1971 EPCOT Center being honored.

 

[SirNim]

Classy as heck!

 

[EpcotServo]

That is the best thing I've seen in a LONG time.
