Should the top of the Space Needle look like an umbrella, trees, a tribute to Native American tribes or the current orange look which is officially called Galaxy Gold?
The Space Needle has put up six different roof designs for people to vote on for their “Top Off Our 50th” contest, in conjunction with the 50th anniversary of the needle.
The Space Needle opened in 1962, the iconic landmark of the World’s Fair in Seattle.
The final designs were picked from a group of about 500 entries. Those interested in voting can vote once a day through October 20th. The top vote-getter will be announced on the 21st. The winning design will remain on the Needle for six months.
The Space Needle’s options for a new paint job on the top. Vote here for your favorite design.
Do you have a better suggestion?
The 500 entries were collected in the Space Needle’s Top This campaign. Remember that? We woke up on a sunny August morning to a mystery message painted atop the Needle that simply read #TopThis.
KIRO host Dave Ross called it “the worst billboard ever” unless of course, you’re trying to speak to people flying over and peaking out from a window seat.
