Lightbulb Office Wall Display - ALL SUGGESTIONS WELCOME!

Hello all,
I'm looking for some wild and crazy ideas. My small company is moving to a new office space and we will have the whole floor to ourselves in a building. We want to put up a display wall in the front entrance/reception area that will blow people away when they walk off the elevator and I'm looking for input (and I know you are all so creating and smart ). So what does everyone think? Post your ideas, pictures, whatever you want to give me some ideas for this thing. I've considered everything from magnetics to LCD panels to projection... pretty much anything goes.
Again, all ideas are welcome. Call this a "brainstorming" thread.
Thanks everyone,
Stryker

Knowing what your company does would help.

Good point!
We are a technology company, web-based internet applications. We would like to have it incorporate our logo (i.e. floating logo or transitioning screen or something).

How about a waterfall over a large LCD monitor (behind plexiglass, so as not to get wet) with the company's logo.

How using a projector to display you company logo, company slogans, company photos, etc onto a clear sheet cascading waterfall? Or programming an interactive critter that responds to movement using a camera similar to the PS2 and have that projected on the waterfall. Get your logo done in marble on the floor just outside the elevator, this one is real simple but its one that impresses me whenever I see it.

what's the name of your company?
existing logos?
marketing slogan?
claim to fame?

Thumbs up How About a PC inside a Fish Tank

How About a PC inside a Fish Tank with the CPU and VGA card coolent comming from the fishies water. PC case shoul dbe a castle made of glass... Put in some snazzy UV lights with color glowing fans and Flat Panel Screen as the TANks backplane with some company logos swirling around. or even the company performance report running continuously... and when it meets some milestone... the PC speaker should play some chimnes or sound of money entering a cash register or something like that

Has anyone seen the Korn video where the camera follows the bullet? You could do something like that with the bullet stopping/impacting near your logo. Also I was in a real estate office today and they did an impressive job of combining bright primary colors on the walls and ceilings in a very artsy way. It was bold but looked good.
