Update: Houston's Iconic 'Be Someone' Sign Has Been Restored

Updated February 2: That didn't take long. After vandals who in all probability are football fans defaced the famous "Be Someone: sign on I-45 to read "Be Football" earlier this week, all is back to normal. An enterprising driver snapped a photo of the installation art yesterday.

The identities of the vandals are unknown, and if you know how repaired the sign, your guess is as good as ours.

HOUSTON, TX — It's a landmark of sorts, and greets thousands of motorist daily on I-45 on their way to downtown Houston. But the "Be Someone" statement was changed overnight on Monday to read "Football." Super Bowl fever strikes!

The Houston Chronicle reports that a would-be artist (or artists) decided that the city needed more publicity as it hosts Super Bowl 51, and took it upon themselves to alter the sign.

The sign has been defaced before, and each time has been restored to its original message, which first appeared in September of 2012.
