The canvas was opened to the public at 13:00 UTC. There wasn't an immediate response from the OKPR server, as the members have not decided what to draw. After brief dscussions, everybody agreed on drawing the well-known subreddit symbol, the Romanian trollface. Mihailul created the first and only sketch of the pixelated trollface, which will become the official one. The design was prepared and the members were ready. All they needed was a place to begin. | The canvas was opened to the public at 13:00 UTC. There wasn't an immediate response from the OKPR server, as the members have not decided what to draw.

There was a second attempt at recreating the OKPR symbol, although there are currently no direct evidences or media files to prove it. One thing for sure is that the second iteration would have been recreated near the Foxhole artwork, as some members have suggested. While working on the first attempt, there were already some Reddit users creating another pixelated trollface at coordinates <code>650,620</code>,<ref name="2022_atlas_5" /> that eventually would be casted under the shadow of the [https://www.reddit.com/r/wallstreetbets r/wallstreetbets] artwork.<ref name="2022_atlas_7">https://2022.place-atlas.stefanocoding.me/#/7</ref> It was also discussed to draw the trollface somewhere near the transgender flag, which laid a few pixels above the Ukrainian flag, but this didn't materialize | There was a second attempt at recreating the OKPR symbol, although there are currently no direct evidences or media files to prove it.
