Scher's Public Theater Designs

Speak Up! has some info today on Paula Scher, whose distinctive visual designs for the Public Theater have really defined the place in the last decade.

Unfortunately, the Public's style has really been swallowed by the crass billboards and other advertising that surround it in the NoHo (ugh) district.

Now that the Carl Fischer building's famous musical-note-clock has been trashed by the current occupants, wouldn't it be great if Scher did a mural of some kind in its place? I can't help but think it would be something of a reclamation of the area.

Update: Well, apparently Ian Schrager's set to build a hotel in front of the Fischer anyway. Photo here. So screw that.
