After criticism that the art of the Elementals was too similar to the original Azuki collection, Azuki has responded by announcing a plan to host a community vote to introduce variety to the backgrounds of the NFTs. This announcement was made on the project’s Discord stage on June 29 at 6PM ET and attracted a significant audience with over 1,500 listeners in attendance.
The types of background changes for now include changes to background texture, environments, excluding neutral backgrounds, line-based designs, and graphics with gradient effects.

Mixed reactions
This announcement has provoked a mixed reaction from the community, with some members expressing optimism that it will lead to significant change, while others remain skeptical.
The exact date for the community vote and details of whether all Azuki, Elementals, and Beanz holders will be involved are yet to be announced. Meanwhile, holders are on the edge of their seats, well aware that any new announcement or decision could trigger a substantial shift in the floor price.
