The project is expected to be completed in November. This year marks a centennial for theiconic sign.
“The sign is the pride of Los Angeles and we are excited for fans all around the world to see this makeover for a very special 100th anniversary,” said Jeff Zarrinnam, chair of the Hollywood Sign Trust.
Sherwin-Williams, which last refurbished the sign in 2012, will run the project again. Duggan and Associates, a Los Angeles-based painting company, will paint the 45-feet-high sign.
The sign, which originally read “Hollywoodland,” was shortened to the current “Hollywood” in 1949. It was rebuilt in 1978 and has gone through several repairs.
