New Zealand's capital now has two Wellington signs.
There's the classic windy Wellington sign and recently a bright yellow one - missing the letter 'I' - which costs $130,000.
Commissioned by Wellington's economic development agency WellingtonNZ, the sculpture sits on Wellington's waterfront and WellingtonNZ says it will present a new and unique photo opportunity.
But for some the $130,000 sculpture isn't a pleasant sight.
After Wellington Mayor Andy Foster shared a photo on Twitter of him replacing the 'I', some took the opportunity to share their frustrations.
"Focus on building houses, transport & infrastructure rather than boondoggles and photo opps u mug," one said.
"An upright, broke old sewage pipe spewing out shit from it like a fountain in place of the letter 'I' would've been more apt in describing where Wellington is at due the Council down there," another wrote.
Foster told Newshub he wonders if the critics are the same people who begrudge any of the events the council supports.
Newshub asked if Foster had seen some of the frustrated comments. He said he hadn't.
"I haven't had time today, we will always get criticism for everything, that is the nature of the game, it is the sad part of what some people are like."
When Newshub put some of these comments to Foster he said his council is investing enormously into housing and infrastructure.
The Wellington City Council say the large WELL_GTON sculpture purposefully has a spelling error, allowing one person to stand on a platform to replace the missing letter.
"They are physically part of the sign and can literally say 'I am in Wellington'."
The sculpture is 2.2 metres high and 8.9 metres wide with each letter weighing between 80 and 120 kilograms.
Foster says the sculpture has been created to generate fun and positivity in the capital. He says 120,000 people had already taken a photo with the sculpture within 13 hours of it being installed.
