==Traces==
===1998–1999===
Before Blender was called Blender, it was called "Traces" for the Amiga family of personal computers. The logo is also the same icon for the camera in Traces.https://web.archive.org/web/20070225161810/http://www.mopi.nl/blogo/p1.html

The logo icon was made in Traces, but converted to Blender after Traces' infrastructure became outdated, forcing a new program to be created.https://web.archive.org/web/20070225141055/http://www.mopi.nl/blogo/p2.html The wordmark was created for Siggraph 1999, and was intended to be temporary, since, Blender at the time didn't have any specific font.https://web.archive.org/web/20070225141018/http://www.mopi.nl/blogo/p3.html
===1999–present===

After getting investors, Blender needed a new professional brand, and thus designed a new, flat icon, intended to represent an eye, and a hand. The initial wordmark had a larger iris, however, this was later adjusted to be smaller for the final product.https://web.archive.org/web/20070225135758/http://www.mopi.nl/blogo/p4.html
