Thank you! I knew it was some insurance company, but I looked and looked online and couldn't find anything.

I read once that it was "accidental" that the side of the building looks just like an Absolut bottle, but I always found that hard to believe and wanted to do a little more reading on it. Just out of interest. Thanks!
