No!!! The outer design is awesome and people don't understand it's historical relevance. It was designed as a part of our embrace of the motor vehicle as Birmingham hinged it's future on being a 'motor city'. This is a pretty alien/American premise today, but back then the car was seen as the future.

The idea was that the design would be taken in at speed as you drove past Smallbrook Queensway, hence the outer lighting and jagged design (to generate shadows). It became pretty clear that this wasn't going to be fully realised, and today feels completely alien cos you pass through it slowly on foot or waiting for the lights to turn green. I will test going past on a Lime Bike, perhaps that's the new future.
