==DynaBlocks==
===September 30, 2003-January 29, 2004===
DynaBlocks was a planned name for Roblox around December 2, 2003, along with GoBlocks, which began consideration on December 12, 2003. Its logo was only shown during ROBLOX BLOXcon 2013, where it was seen on a site mockup, utilizing the Arial Black typeface along with an unknown basic pixel font. Contrary to popular belief, there is no official GoBlocks logo, and the 'alpha' GoBlocks logo that has been circulating was created by an unknown DeviantArt user in 2018. 
Archives of David Baszucki's website suggest another early name could have been eBlocks, labelled as a "stealth mode video game company" as early as September 30, 2003. No logos are known to exist, as it may have only been in conceptual form around this period.

Though it is unknown who for certain designed these logos, the user "Todd" allegedly confirmed he designed a "prototype logo" around this time when contacted via SMS.

===November 8, 2006-September 25, 2009===
On November 8, 2006, the Roblox logo was updated to its arguably most iconic design, with a custom, fun font, giving the brand more visibility and making it seem more inviting. This logo was taken from a site mockup designed by Mike Rayhawk on October 22, 2006, with an earlier rough version of the logo dating back to another mockup from September 27, 2006. Its respective favicon was used until November 2, 2015.

The logo's color and design were slightly modified and cleaned up in a subsequent site mockup by Rayhawk on December 5, 2006, with a proper vector version made in March 2007. It came about from Rayhawk being unhappy with the general roughness of the prior logo. Until it was made the primary logo on August 12, 2010https://web.archive.org/web/20100812170535/http://www.roblox.com:80/, it was a secondary logo used for merchandising and appeared as the welcome decal in the 2008 "Happy Home in Robloxia" map.
