Kulturní dum Echo má navíc neprehlédnutelné poznávací znamení - obrí žlutý gramofon, který stojí prímo pred vchodem. Tato skulptura se ovšem v Lipníku objevila mnohem drív, než se zacalo s prestavbou objektu. V té dobe zdobil nádvorí knihovny.
Puvodne se tento artefakt z dílny kováre Martina Štellera predstavil na jednom z rocníku výstavy Kov ve meste, kterou Lipník pravidelne porádá. Obyvatelé mesta si ho natolik oblíbili, že ho místní radnice koupila a po dostavbe Echa se stal jeho neodmyslitelnou soucástí.
In addition, the Echo House of Culture has an unmissable license plate - a giant yellow gramophone, which stands directly in front of the entrance. However, this sculpture appeared in Lipník long before the reconstruction of the building began. At that time he decorated the courtyard of the library.
Originally, this artifact from the workshop of blacksmith Martin Šteller was presented at one of the years of the Metal in the City exhibition, which Lipník regularly organizes. The inhabitants of the town liked it so much that the local town hall bought it and after the completion of Echo it became an integral part of it.
