Yep, No better advertising.
"Oh that looks cool, we'll have to return next year".
I genuinely thought it was a photoshop job too until I looked at the further photos!That Comcast logo is so perfectly located in the middle of that photo, I can't get my head around that it's actually on the building.
Heck, the way Disney advertised the lackluster Star Wars Experience, many tourists thought that "it" was the Star Wars expansion.I've always found this to be such a delicate plan to achieve well. On the one hand you have Universal building 3 things at once and if you went this year and seen the construction, do you return in 2017 for VB and Fallon or 2018 for VB, Fallon and F&F. On the other hand you have the Disney approach where rides were for the most part built one at a time over a long period. So you can plan your next trip 2 years after for only one new attraction (Avatar) or do you plan for 4 years and get several. (Starw Wars and Toy Story).
On the other other hand, if you showed up at Disney expecting to see Star Wars next year expecting it to be built, you could annoy a lot of people.

There are quite a few billboards and other advertising out there showing Star Wars at WDW. It's very misleading if you don't know better.Heck, the way Disney advertised the lackluster Star Wars Experience, many tourists thought that "it" was the Star Wars expansion.
The perspective of the whole building is so bad. Why are the Windows bigger than the Comcast letters? Looks ridiculous. The Comcast sign should dwarf the Windows, and you'd think they'd use some forced perspective on the Windows too

Here's a good look at the lights when it's a little darker
I think in theory the whole building would be too big for the area - whereas at a glance this makes the building look smaller and likes it's part of a skyline.

:doh: Damn, I thought it was shopped.That Comcast logo is so perfectly located in the middle of that photo, I can't get my head around that it's actually on the building.
It seems recently they are moving away from the "it's really a set" thing...But perhaps only Potter and things in IOA get this treatment...Not a big deal, I just expected the new vision to carry through in all areasAnd on the theme versus theming...
Looking like a regular building that is part of a block of buildings supports the theme and thematic statement they're trying to make in the area. Being an obviously massive ride building that sticks out - with full "theming" - would not.
