Narrative:
Captain initiated taxi from gate. Right wingtip struck deice tower. Damaged plastic cap over strobe light. The ramp was slippery, aircraft had just been deiced. Deice tower was not located near right wing until completion of deice. I could not see out of side window due to deice fluid on window. After contact we shut down, deplaned passenger and had wingtip inspected by maintenance.
