Walked past the Thrivent Financial building across from the Hennepin County Government Center and noticed their complaint sign (although it may have been too far left of the doors) - came down.

Thrivent has one of those big glass entrance ways with various signs on them like no smoking, the company logo etc. The new "sign" is now just the "Thrivent Financial bans guns..." lettering stuck to the inside of the glass, like the rest of their signage. Same spot as the old sign was, just now less conspicuous as there is now no backboard

They could have posted it one of the glass doors as you enter there appears to be room, but chose not to.

FYI.

Well I'd say it's non-compliant because its not against a bright background. Funny the other signage on the front is in white letters, but the "bans guns" is in black. So I guess that part is complaint?

ING financial also has the same thing. No backboard, just the language on the glass. But it's white lettering and can easily be seen from a passing car on the street.
