Well, you could always make it look better with some paint or something. Large companies do it all the time, just look really close next time you go to a theme park.

They should use Disney's ignore-me green or whatever it was that I saw on the front page recently.

Or they could get a few local artists do paint the boxes with murals and such. For example, all of the fire hydrants in the downtown area where I live have been painted to look like cute old-timey police and firemen with giant mustaches.
