Outrage at Emirates rebranding of Portsmouth's Spinnaker Tower

Since I
took my images of the tower, the latest controversy kicked off. Portsmouth City
Council signed a sponsorship deal with the Emirates airline worth £3.5m. The first images of the
rebranding of the tower ( to be coloured red and white running up the length
and breadth of the tower ) infuriated many local people. Red and white being
the colours of football rivals Southampton.

A petition against the rebranding colour
attracted thousands of signatures resulting in the City Council deciding to go
back to the drawing board. New designs will apparently be open to public consultation.
Personally, I think it a great shame to move away from the existing colour but given the need for the money I hope they will come up with a design that is more white than anything else. The jury is out....
So here's the latest design - Portsmouth colours !! A good compromise for the city...
