On top of that, pixiv's website and logo (apps excluded) will undergo a time-limited design change, all Evangelion-themed.
Both stages will feature illustrations made just for the event from world-famous artists such as Timbougami, Zeronis, Vinne, Airi Pan, Grandia元, and many more, with the purpose to shine a spotlight illustrations.
