Not entirely well, it seems.
BUT, it turns out I loved these threads so much (even if people blatantly started ignoring the "from memory" bit) that I saved the first two threads, images and all! And in the same folder, it appears I also saved the "Photoshop/MS Paint Nike and other evil corporations ruining famous album covers". Wonder if there is a sensible way of sharing here on board, if there is interest?
