Minecraft wiki entry for Logo, associated text: An updated version of the previous logo was first seen on the official website on May 22, 2009 and it would later be used in-game when the phase of Indev (v0.31) started on December 23. Changes include that the logo was made brighter and a shadow was added to it. It could only be seen at the menu screen against a wall made of dirt. It was later used in Infdev and early Alpha versions.
