Re: [Join] The 15th Anniversary of Bitcoin Forum Artwork project with BTC Artist 1Dq
Let me kick-off this topic by sharing my thoughts. Since this is an evolving artwork, and the scope is to update it to depict the "Bitcoin forum’s 15th Anniversary", my opinion is not to permanently remove things, but rather to evolve them to represent the current status. (ok sometimes you/we might need to remove items to add new ones since the artwork space/area is limited)
Let me provide an example of the coldkeys/Yogg situation. In the other topic, we slightly discussed this, and I clearly understand the Krog's point of view, to remove all references to Yogg from the artwork. My opinion is that Yogg was (and still is) part of the forum history and -somehow- should still be included in the artwork. Hence instead of totally removing it, we should adapt it to the current situation.
Suggestion: At the part where it is written "Coldkeys", we should cross with an "X" (graffiti style) the word "Coldkeys" (the word should be still readable afterward), and replace it with "Icarus" (also graffiti style). Like someone went there with a graffiti can, crossed the "coldkeys" sign & wrote "Icarus" on the side (probably on top, inside the square to the left of the "collectibles" sign?).
Also, concerning the robot with the "Y" on the head (next to Krog robot), we could totally remove it from there and do the following: you can create a rubbish dump/rusty robot parts landfill and among some rusty robots spare parts laying around (hands, feet etc.) there would also be a robot head (with the "Y" mark)
Tl;dr: We should evolve the artwork, by still preserving the past (since the past is still part of the history)

Those are some good ideas to start from!
We'll see how this idea evolves, if it goes into a completely different direction, we could integrate the old artwork as a thumbnail someplace (the way I put the Pie contest painting into Bitcollector on top of the monitor on the left.
Graffittying over seems like a fun idea, might be needed for something else as well, we'll see.
I love the idea of a rubbish pile for the yogg wreckage.
...
I like your ideas very much...yes please throw Yogg on that garbage pile and do cross out coldkey with Icarus.
Like the way this is already heading....we need some more good ideas.
Definitely excited to get more ideas from everywhere!
i also think the ideas put forward by my greek buddy tweetious are very good 
maybe you could get the robot dog (which is at the bottom center) to do its 'business' for a moment and then write yogg on the dog poop symbol.
another idea would be to add this year's #1 bitcointalk pizza day contest from Ale88 to the pizza (bottom left)

Robot dog having a job is great!
But what I really love is the Pizza contest involvement.
The more things and people we can invite and incorporate, the better.
Like the Bitcoin Pie contest...
Anyone know about any other activities and contests and other events that we can include?
