The NBC Experience Store Globe

NBC created a new YESCO “message globe” in its NBC Experience store, located at Rockefeller Center, New York City. From the outside of the building, it looks like an illuminated globe. The 35’-diameter hemisphere is covered with LEDs. The animations were provided by YESCO's media services group. When it was first turned on, it stopped traffic on West 49th Street.

The eraser weighs 62,000 pounds, and is counterbalanced by a 62,000-pound weight inside the sign. The sign uses 4,377,600 LEDs and the eraser is powered by a motor at its base that runs a gear and cable system.
