Restoration of the Tampa Theater's historic marquee and its seven-story high vertical "blade" sign (spelling TAMPA) commenced on March 24, 2003 when workers dismantled the existing marquee. Original pieces were used as templates for the new sign, which is an exact replica updated with modern electronics. The entire project was constructed with copper, matching the original materials and finishes in accordance with U. S. Department of the Interior's standards for historic preservation.
