In 2017, the PC version of Minecraft was renamed as the Java Edition to separate it from Bedrock Edition, which was renamed from Pocket Edition to just Minecraft by the Better Together Update. This is the design that would later be used for the full release of the game ( v1.0.0) on Novemand also seen in merchandise and other media.

The logo was slightly retouched in Beta 1.8, some of the reflections of the letters were a bit decreased. Mojang unveiled Minecraft's most well known logo in Beta 1.4, the previous design was replaced with a hand drawn stone-like lettering, in which the iconic face of the creeper was added to the 'A'. An animation was also added where the stone blocks would fall to the wall forming the word 'Minecraft' (this feature along with the logo was removed in Beta 1.4). In Alpha 1.0.4, the texture of the blocks were changed from cobblestone to stone. It was later used in Infdev and early Alpha versions. It could be seen only at the menu screen against a wall made of dirt. Changes include that the logo was made brighter and a shadow was added to it.

It was designed as the word 'MINECRAFT' begin formed with cobblestone blocks.Īn updated version of the previous logo was first seen on the official website on and it would later be used in-game when the phase of Indev ( v0.31) started on December 23. Minecraft's first logo was originally showcased only at Notch's personal blog The Word of Notch.
