And, to give this some Audi content ...

Back when I was a car pool manager (and marketing director) in Frankfurt, my 
office (9th floor of Lyonerstrasse 30) looked south towards the Olivetti tower.
 
This had the word "O l i v e t t i" spelled out vertically, with the "O" at the 
top.  There was a 200yd expanse of rough grassland between.  A local peregrine 
decided that hovering was just too much like hard work, so it sat in the "O" 
and stooped directly from there, usually onto small mammals.
