I haven't found anything related to those early pencil drawings, but I've found some logos used in the early marketing:

Not sure where these two come from, but they appear to be similar:

I've seen some very early "story of a boy, a girl and a universe" trailers with this one:

And I just found one of those very early trailers, it can be seen here:

If trailers are anything to go by in terms of understanding the visions of the filmmakers (and at least in this case, I think they are), this just goes on to show how much Lucas' "vision" has changed over the past 30 years. It's sort of like "gritty sci-fi graffiti" vs. "teletubbies in space".
