The picture of a unicorn, pieced together from 97,200 frames of SIM cards - a smart card inserted into a cell phone that holds personal information relating to the subscriber - was crafted by Viettel’s employees over two months and 11 days.

The record-winning image measures 10.5 meter in height, 18 meters in width, and weighs 1,125 tons.

It was assembled by 15 kinds of SIM cards supplying various payment packages provided by the telecom company.

“We wanted to create a work of art for everyone o­n the Tet holiday.

The depiction of the unicorn – o­ne of the four mystical animals – also represents our wish of good luck, prosperity and happiness to everyone,” says Viettel Telecom Director Tong Viet Trung.

The exhibition, a feature of the “Spring Flower Festival” at Tao Dan Park, will be o­n display until February 12.

During the exhibition, Viettel will also host several activities at its booth, including traditional performances, courtesy local and international phone calls, and Internet services.
