McDonald's has been forced to open its first ever restaurant with a turquoise coloured sign after city planners said the signature yellow sign would be too garish.
Officials in Sedona, Arizona told the fast-food giant they were unable to open a restaurant with the trademark yellow logo.
This is due to the city's strict regulations which prevent buildings from ruining the picturesque view of the desert.

To appease the city's concerns, McDonald's offered up a unique alternative to their standard colour scheme - using a turquoise M sign.
The building has also been built using orange and red coloured materials meaning it blends in with the desert background.
But the restaurant isn't the chain's only unusual storefront as many of their 30,000 other restaurants can be found in bizarre locations.
Earlier this month, McDonald's opened up an outlet in a disused DC-3 plane that had been parked beside the restaurant in Taupo, New Zealand.

Eileen Byrne, the restaurant's 59-year-old owner, says: 'The site was previously part of a car dealership, the Aeroplane Car Company, and the owner bought a disused DC-3 plane, which sat alongside the building.
'And when McDonald's purchased the site in 1990, the aeroplane came with it.'
