Silicon Valley-Wood

Silicon Valley resident Hafid Alonso would like to create a big, notable landmark for the South Bay: a Silicon Valley sign reminiscent of the Hollywood sign. He would like the sign to be 200 feet long, with each letter standing 45 feet high. The letters would look like computer chips and would light up at night in various colors. Alonso envisions the sign going up in the hills near Milpitas, where it would be visible from various vantage points, but for the now the idea is in its very early stages. [San Francisco Magazine]
