藍寶石大歌廳
視覺以一座鷹架霓虹，高掛回高雄夜空，復刻藍寶石大歌廳，喚回那個風靡全台的秀場年代。招牌上的「廰」、「寳」是電腦都打得出來的異體字——早期霓虹燈老師傅慣用的手法，簡化筆劃、突顯特色，也讓招牌更好辨識。
藍寶石大歌廳，是台灣秀場文化最重要的符號之一。1975 年至 1995 年間，坐落於高雄市新興區八德二路與同愛街口，以鐵皮搭建起歌廳建築，寫下高雄第一家歌廳的歷史，其影響力不只遍及全台，更遠播東南亞。
Blue Sapphire Grand Theatre
A scaffold-built neon sign, hung back up in Kaohsiung's night sky, recreates the Blue Sapphire Grand Theatre and revives an era of shows that once captivated all of Taiwan. The variant characters on the sign — still typeable today — were a trick old neon craftsmen used to simplify strokes, stand out, and stay legible.
The Blue Sapphire Grand Theatre is one of the defining symbols of Taiwan's stage-show culture. Open from 1975 to 1995 at the corner of Bade 2nd Road and Tong'ai Street in Kaohsiung's Xinxing District, it was built from sheet metal and became the city's first theatre hall — its influence spreading across Taiwan and as far as Southeast Asia.
