Earlier quoted context omitted.

That would be quite unfair and non representative since the given pen size is way too big to actually reproduce the Starbucks logo, even if you had the memory and talent.

considering you can swap colors back and forth, I'd say it's mostly possible (to draw thinner than the minimum just draw one color, overwrite with another)

With a mouse? I'd be impressed.

With a touchpad? Still impressed.

With a touchscreen? Maaaaaaybe but wow tedious.

Ok, that was actually pretty entertaining. I didn't see a way to save or share the doodles, but I was able to print as pdf (after clicking a box for "show background" to get all the images to show). Here's mine - but obviously, don't peek until you've done it yourself: https://imgur.com/a/YxX64F3

I can't exactly say I'm proud of getting most of these right-ish, though I've never seen the snapchat logo before, or if I have no one mentioned what it was!

If anything I'm disappointed in how close I was for pepsi considering I never even drink it... those ads are eyeworms I guess.

I hope all the drawings are being logged so the followup can be "1000 attempts at the starbucks mermaid", kinda like the "draw me a sheep facing left" project: http://www.aaronkoblin.com/work/thesheepmarket/

i'd be shocked if there were more logos than penises.

I hope too, I don't want my drawing efforts be wasted.

Tried it with a stylus and with a touch screen: neither were supported.

Reminds me of the exhibit of inventive pictures made by students of various ages in the Bycicle Museum in Sakai, Osaka, Japan.

For example, one drawing was of a bike / submarine hybrid - from a kid who likely wanted to explore the ocean.
