"We're celebrating our 90th anniversary, so it's 'go big or go home,'" Bashas spokeswoman Ashley Shick told KTVK/KPHO.

Officials said the team assembled the mosaic at Basha High School and a Guinness World Records adjudicator measured the finished logo at 902 square feet, enough to break the previous record, which was set in Ukraine in 2012.
