An 8ft (2.4m) high Bristoland sign which appeared in the Avon Gorge has been taken down by the land owner after it was changed to read "It's Bland".
The first version of the sign appeared opposite a main route into the city, the Portway, in January.
It was thought to pay tribute to the sign in the Hollywood hills which had originally spelt out Hollywoodland.
The National Trust said the change was "not appropriate" and the sign had been removed.
"We can see the funny side of Bristoland, but we always said the sign had a finite life and the change to It's Bland was the point to remove it," said Bill Morris, National Trust head warden for the site.
