By Los Angeles times, the sign featured “a variety of colorful designs, including a humming rainbow, bright green, pure white, and other displays.” Audiences attending Halsey’s Hollywood Bowl concert were surprised that the sign suddenly glowed in the dark, as there were no obvious signs for the light show in the city.

The Hollywood Sign has not been illuminated since the 2000 New Year celebrations, and in the early years of the sign, between 1923 and 1933, the sign was regularly covered when the word “Hollywoodland” was mentioned. The maintenance cost of the bulbs has become too high and the sign has been taken offline.
“Over the following years, the sign has been damaged multiple times, as it has changed owner several times,” the press service said. Los Angeles times. “In 1944, the Sherman Company donated nearly 400 acres, including signage, to the city of Los Angeles. Five years later, the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce agreed to correct the sign by removing the word “land.”
This was announced by Jeff Zarrinnam, Chairman of the Hollywood Sign Trust. Sometimes In May, the city had to raise $250,000 to restore the sign in 1978 after the sign was damaged.
During this period, no new lighting infrastructure was established. “So it’s been around ever since,” Zarrinnam said.
