December 2003-January 2004
DynaBlocks was a planned name for Roblox along with GoBlocks, which began consideration on December 12th, 2003. The logo was only shown during ROBLOX BLOXcon 2013, where it was seen on a site mockup. Contrary to popular belief, there is no real GoBlocks logo, and the 'alpha' GoBlocks logo that has been circulating was created by an 85 year old deviant art user in 2018. This has been found out to be fake recently.

Early 2004
The name Roblox was settled on on January 30th, 2004, and this was the first logo used, a very simple one created with the Arial font, which attempted to convey fun and creativity with its variety of colors.



July 2004-May 2005
On July 27th, 2004, the Roblox site was made public, sporting this revamped logo with a futuristic design, along with the now iconic red border, and an accent over the 'o' to signify that it is pronounced with a long vowel sound.

2014 (unused)
In 2014, Roblox hosted a private competition to choose a new logo, but this logo didn't end up winning and was replaced with the 2015 logo so it became unused, but it stayed hidden in the Roblox files for a few weeks before being removed.

2015–2017
Roblox introduced this logo on their Twitter account on November 2, 2015. Before the day ended, they added this logo to the home page. This time taking on a flatter design similar to the 2006 and 2009 logos, while looking much cleaner.

2017–2018
On January 10, 2017, Roblox introduced an entirely new logo for the first time in nearly 11 years, set partially in the Gill Sans Ultra Bold typeface. When it was released, it was seen as lazy and uninspired, and often compared to a Cheez-it. [[File:Roblox 2017 Monochrome32.png|left|thumb|256px|

2018–present
In 2018, Roblox updated their logo to be monochrome. This logo has been criticized for taking the character out of the logo.
