The massive [H] logo on Drawball, a collaborative community art website, is coming to an end after being the longest and most visible maintained logo on the site that is visible from "space'. We wanted to thank everyone that helped keep the logo alive and well all this time, without you guys, it wouldn’t have lasted as long as it did. The logo will come down at 3pm eastern.
 
Wow, thats a pretty big image right there. I can't imagine the strain on the rendering server with thousands of hits.
 
covered with the black box and "red x". . . there is a thread in GenMay about what they had planned, how it was all going to go down. Instead of lingering and being defaced over a period of time, forum members did it all at once...*bam* gone. :D

It was there for about 1 year and lately, there is a lack of interest to maintain it and Drawball admins made lots of changes which made it harder to keep it up. Instead of letting it decay with vandals, we decided to stop it with a bang :D

 
Ahhh the memories, farewell fond drawball. I shall miss defending thee from vandals of other websites "Cough*Anandtech*Cough."
 
I'd never heard of it before. It looks interesting tho'. They could at least mention that puzzle thingy though, I thought it was some weird drawing tool.
 
never heard of it.. i figured u put out a big logo on the last google maps flyove ;)
 
Jeez, I remember when the drawball thread got started. I spent a good deal of time along with many others helping to establish the [H]. I have barely been active on this board in the past year or so and I'm impressed you guys managed to keep the [H] going all this time. Nice send-off too. :)

If it's been that long since you were messing with drawball, the logo was actually expanded at least twice that I can remember. That's one of the reasons it was a bit tougher to keep going. The amount of ink needed to redrawing it was astounding. I would have 200% ink at times, use it all and it wouldn't hardly look like a made a dent. I think you needed 100-150% ink just to redo the white outline around the H.

It was fun while it lasted and I'm glad there was a proper send off. It's still weird going on there and not seeing it anymore. Plus I have no clue what to do with my ink.
