Arknights Text is the name given to the text "Arknights!!" in blue with dark blue shading which gives it a 3d look. Situated at (981,117) with an area of 266 pixels, it is the longest surviving and earliest artwork completed by the Arknights community. Through the duration of r/place 2022, the artwork went through many design changes as a result of many factors.

Concept

The very first plan for an artwork by the Arknights community was posted to the subreddit on April 1, 10:24 AM (UTC-4) which depicts a 93x84 Rhodes Island logo in black and white. The logo features a rook enclosed by a triangular outline in the background and the Rhodes Island text on the bottom. The location chosen to build this concept was around (324,48).

The second plan after a failed first attempt was a small rook on a dark blue triangle with an orange background. The chosen site to build this concept was around (968, 113). This was later moved right by a few pixels, color lightened to blue and the text r/AK being added to the left of the symbol. A final revision for this plan called for a very small Amiya (character from the game) to be added to the left of a shrunken r/AK text, Reunion symbol to be added above "SP 2" and the rook symbol to be moved right by a few pixels again.

With the first expansion of the canvas, Arknights members started to expand the current territory to the right with plans to make the full length of the subreddit name. This also meant that the rook had to be removed. Due to streamer Elraenn wiping out the newly claimed space, the design would be changed to feature just the small Amiya and text "Arknights!!". One major change was made after the final expansion of the canvas, the small Amiya was demolished and the land granted to the small Polish flag.
