• Venice Sign - Stretching across Windward Avenue at Pacific, the illuminated VENICE Sign is a modern replica of the original installed in 1905 by the renowned Abbot Kinney.

This sign is a quintessential emblem of Venice, both historically and in contemporary times.

In 2007, the Venice Sign Restoration Project recreated and installed the modern version of this iconic sign. Since then, the Venice Chamber has managed the sign and safeguarded its trademark.
