Something to Smile About

Hundreds of people wearing yellow and black gathered in Orlando to create the world’s largest human smiley face. Coinciding with World Smile Day®, Visit Orlando teamed up with Cybis to manage the special event’s logistics.

Amongst the participants, dressed in yellow and black ponchos, were travelers from across the United States, the United Kingdom, Canada, Germany and Brazil. The human smiley face was about the size of a basketball court and set the Guinness World Record for the biggest smiley face.

Cybis lead the full event’s logistics. First, we developed an innovative system to accommodate an unknown number of people and quickly organize them into the smiley face. The Guinness World Record authority has strict rules regarding the length of time to form and hold the shape, as well as rules against drawing on the ground. Thanks to Cybis’ system, we were able to pull this off flawlessly.

Team Cybis provided the official counters, official clock, aerial photography points, audio/PA support, event signage, and leadership during the event. We appreciate Visit Orlando’s trust in Cybis to help set a world record!
