The first project undertaken by Arknights was a blue text that said "Arknights". At first, due to the small size of the canvas on the first day, it was shortened to r/AK (standing for Arknights) and it was accompanied by a chibi Amiya as well as a logo of Rhodes Island(symbolized by a blue triangle with a rook). When the canvas extended, the Rhodes Island logo was deleted in favor of more space, and the r/AK text was rebranded to "Arknights", where it stood until the end of the canvas.

The Arknights text has been attacked more than once from members of the r/CLTV (anti-Chinese community) subreddit that were trying to extend the Pooh art's ear, though the Arknights community has successfully defended against all of these attacks. | ||
Originally, a logo for the Reunion movement (one of the game's antagonists) was placed above the Arknights text. The icon, which looked similar to a DNA strand, would then be abandoned in favor of the other projects. | Originally, a logo for the Reunion movement (one of the game's antagonists) was placed above the Arknights text.

This project was intended as a pet project by one of the Arknights r/place community leaders in an attempt to alleviate the lack of activity from the group. Dubbed as "Swagmiya", "Smugmiya", and "Pogmiya", the simple artwork featured the game's mascot, Amiya, with a smug smile and a pair of sunglasses. Situated near the original Arknights text and adjacent to the Elden Ring/Hollow Knight artwork and below the Genshin Impact Chinese logo, the project was finished within 3 hours of the first pixel being placed. The artwork did face an attack by an unknown group of attackers towards the end of the canvas, but the Arknights r/place community did manage to restore the artwork back to its original state, where it stood with little activity until the end of the canvas. Occasional appearances of "crewmate" from the popular game "Among Us" have occured on Amiya's hair, which got quickly patched and when whiteout occured, no such sight was spotted. | This project was intended as a pet project by one of the Arknights r/place community leaders in an attempt to alleviate the lack of activity from the group.

In a collaboration with multiple other gacha game communities in the Gacha Alliance, Arknights created its | In a collaboration with multiple other gacha game communities in the Gacha Alliance, Arknights created its logo alongside the r/place communities of Girls' Frontline, Guardian Tales, Honkai Impact 3rd, Genshin Impact, and eventually Touhou LostWord, Uma Musume, Azur Lane, and Poland Ball. With the addition of Azur Lane overlapping parts of the Arknights logo as well as parts of the Blue Archive logo, some members of the Gacha Alliance communities have taken to calling it "The Yostar Trio" due to the games sharing the same publisher: Yostar Games. | ||
As Arknights was the first community to complete its first rendition of its | As Arknights was the first community to complete its first rendition of its logo, the community was also involved with the construction of the other gacha communities' logos, as well as the defense and reconstruction of the Gacha Alliance and its allies. This was made abundantly clear when Russian streamer 5opka invaded the Gacha Alliance through the logos of Honkai Impact 3rd and Genshin Impact, though it was repelled with the combined forces of the Gacha Alliance as well as streamers BTMC and Enviosity. | ||
The Arknights app | The Arknights app logo itself featured Amiya, marking the character's third appearance in the entire canvas. The logo underwent one revision during after its construction in an attempt to be more faithful to the actual Arknights app logo. Even after its completion, it saw many mistakes and independent trolling attempts, which were most concentrated on Amiya's eyes, nose, and mouth. Amiya's mouth was also a hot topic for debate amongst the Arknights r/place community, as there was a faction that wanted Amiya to have a smile, while another faction wanted to keep to the original by having her keep a grim face. In the end, Amiya was given a smile before the beginning of the end of the canvas. | ||
