For the events missing logos, r/logos admin krispykrackers asked the community to submit their own. The doodle of Snoo boxing was created by Johan, 16, of Sweden, who was able to whip it up fairly quickly thanks to a template he made months ago.

“The template I made took around four hours to make,” Johan told the Daily Dot. “When I can’t use the template, a logo can take anywhere from 10 minutes to 10 hours to make. That is depending on what the requester thinks of the first logo design. On average, I tweak a logo three times before whoever requested it is satisfied.”

Here are the best Reddit doodles submitted thus far.
