I went looking - and there's a wiki dedicated to just this topic.

It does seem that the original was replaced in May 2019 by a brighter version, although whether it was drawn on a computer or not is anyone's guess.

According to the wiki, it was not drawn on a computer, but created again in the same way as the first. I personally prefer the darker original, but most Windows users use light mode. It's cool that it has 25 people listed in the credits for what seems like a such a simple image.

> GMUNK was also involved in this version, and stated that it was created under the same methodology as the previous version.
