Mojang Studios (formerly known as Mojang Specifications and Mojang AB) is a Swedish video game developer based in Stockholm, founded in 2009. It is the creator of the successful indie cult PC game Minecraft, which won many awards and has sold over 200+ copies as of 2021. On September 15, 2014, Microsoft announced its plans to purchase the company, which closed on November 6. On May 17, 2020, the company rebranded to its current name to aim to reflect its multi-studio structure.
1st Logo (July 9, 2010-February 21, 2011)
Visuals: On a purple background, there is a light purple, pixelated, abstract object, which looks like a C-shaped dragon. Under it are the words "Mojang Specifications" in white.
Technique: None.
Audio: None.
Availability: Seen at Minecraft versions from Alpha 1.0.4 to Beta 1.2, which can be played in the launcher if your profile allows these editions.
2nd Logo (February 22, 2011-October 1, 2013)
Visuals: Over a white background is the aforementioned pixelated object, now white and inside a red box. Under it is the word "MOJANG".
Technique: None.
Audio: None.
Availability: Seen at the beginning of Minecraft versions from Beta 1.3 through Beta 1.7.3. However this was kept on the Xbox 360 version through TU12.
3rd Logo (September 14, 2011-December 9, 2013)
Visuals: Same as before, albeit vertical and no longer pixelated.
Variant: There are lots of different logo variants depending on what texture/resource pack you use, the texture pack support starts at Beta 1.8 and at 1.6.1, it became obsolete and replaced with the new resource pack support.
Technique: None.
Audio: None.
Availability: Seen at the beginning of Minecraft versions from Beta 1.8 to 1.7.2.
4th Logo (0x10c variant) (2012-2013)
Visuals: On a black background, the abstract object, now in metallic silver, reveals itself from the shadows.
Technique: 2D animation.
Audio: None.
Availability: Only appeared on Mojang's cancelled game, 0x10c (pronounced as "ten to the C power"), which was developed in 2012-2013.
5th Logo (December 10, 2013-May 20, 2020)
Visuals: A redux of the 4th logo, which has the rounded square with its top-right and bottom-left corners now untamed and the name in a new corporate font.
Variants:
The resource pack you are using may variate the logo.
On Minecraft versions 1.14 and 1.15, the loading stripe is below. When it ends the stripe fades out and the whole logo follows it to the Minecraft menu.
On some moments, the loading stripes loads very fast.
On the Forge editions of the said versions, the counter stripes are in the left down, left up and right up borders of the screen. After the stripe ends, the counters fades out and the rest of the logo plays as normal
On Minecraft Mini Series: Challenge of the Spooky Isles, the logo shares the screen with the Microsoft Studios logo.
On Windows 10, PS4, Xbox One, Xbox Series X, mobile and Nintendo Switch versions of the game (all platformes are combined with Bedrock Edition family)it's smaller
When you play Forge the loading mod stripes are below and up to the logo. Also in the right down border, the anvil stands on wich the hammer knocks.
Technique: None. 2d animation for Forge and 1.14, 1.15 versions of Minecraft.
Audio: None. The variant uses the closing theme.
Availability: Seen at the beginning of Minecraft version 1.7.4 to Snapshot 20w20b and since TU13 and Minecraft Mini Series: Challenge of the Spooky Isles.
6th Logo (Minecraft Java Edition 3D Shareware v1.34 variant) (April 1, 2019)
Visuals: It starts out on a white background. Then, a tiny red square appears from the center, and spins until it comes into view. It is then revealed to be the Mojang logo from before, albeit pixelated. The text from the previous logo fades in below, also pixelated.
Technique: 2D animation.
Audio: Silence at first, then a choir sings the company name once the text fades in, a parody of the Sega logo.
Availability: Only seen on Minecraft 3D Shareware v1.34, which was released on April Fools' Day of that year.
7th Logo (May 17, 2020-)
Visuals: On a red background, we see 6 weird shapes, known as "Mojangs", with holes and indents in them, with either the whole shape or parts of the shape turning a few times. Then, once they stop turning, they each show "MOJANG" in an unusual typeface, with "STUDIOS" below.
Trivia:
The logo was revealed on Minecraft's 11th anniversary on May 17, 2020. The logo's case study can be found on Bold Scandinavia's website here.
If you look closely, you can see the "M" in Mojang is in an Among Us character shape.
Variants:
A still version exists in which it has a loading stripe below and it fades to Minecraft menu (the same variant is on 5th logo).
Also on some days, it loads faster.
A vertical stacked version, exists. In the logo's reveal on Minecraft's YouTube channel, shown here, the Mojangs came out of the machine, known as the "Mojang-a-tron 3000", floating around, along with a person's hand touching one of the Mojangs, before getting into place, starting the logo's animation. On Minecraft's social pages, shown here, the Mojangs only float around after coming out of the machine, then cuts to the logo's animation.
Technique: None, or CGI designed by Bold Scandinavia.
Audio: A synth theme with some sound effects, ending with the Minecraft exp. sound. None for the still version.
Availability:
Seen on recent updates of Minecraft starting version 1.16.
The animated version appears on Minecraft Dungeons
