This one in particular is not part of the early Star Wars logos, since it's not official in any way. This is from the Electric Moog Orchestra album "Music From Star Wars", which was the main Star Wars soundtrack music performed with a Moog synthesizer. They were forced to change the black with white Star Wars text logo cover to a blue with different white text cover including a label that says "Not the original soundtrack" due to the original release looking too much like the official John Williams soundtrack release.

See here for the revised version.

I was actually a victim of this deception: my aunt bought me the original version of this record thinking she was getting the soundtrack I asked for on my birthday. Imagine my surprise when it was not what I thought it was. In a way though, I think the Moog version ended up being even cooler than the regular soundtrack, because it was really bizarre and nobody else had it. That's the soundtrack album I grew up with.
