United Overseas Bank (UOB) was founded on Aug 6, 1935, making this its 90th anniversary just a couple of days before Singapore celebrates SG60.

To celebrate its 90th and Singapore’s 60th anniversaries, on June 27, UOB had a visual and audio show which was viewed from Empress Place. The show earned three Guinness World Records titles: Largest light output in a projected image, longest architectural projection-mapped display (temporary) and highest projection image on a building. The setup produces a total of 5.85 million lumens, covering around 250 million pixels on UOB Plaza.

The six-minute animation is inspired by the bank’s values and commitment to do right by its customers and communities. Through three distinct acts, it showcases the spirit of innovation and change at UOB that has shaped the bank’s past and present as it looks towards the future.
