How does this letter-form communicate its location?

The community I live in is adjacent to this LRT stop, Tuscany Station. As another example of my city preserving its past, this Art Deco / Streamline Moderne sign [3] was completely refurbished and used as the public art at the train station. The former buildings and this sign were part of a set for 80’s pop star, Cory Hart’s music video “I am by your side”. (as seen in the video link below from 2:46 to 3:06). The iconic type and the physical sign itself is an extremely rare sample of Art Deco / Streamline Moderne within the Calgary’s city limits.
