Facebook logo - which one is the original?

Facebook created a revolution and restructured our social world. The basic idea is very simple - just connect friends, and let them see your thoughts and pictures. Idea is simple, web page is simple in design, and so is the Facebook logo. There are multitudes of various logos, but only one is the real original .

Original Facebook logo and icon

The original facebook logo is represented by simple white text 'facebook' (no capitals) on a blue (HEX 3B5998 - Mark Zuckerberg wanted blue, because he is colorblind) background. The logo is a custom-drawn variant of Klavika (family of sans-serif fonts), designed by Joe Kral and Cuban Council.

As the Cuban Council say on the website:
"Back when nobody gave a toss about thefacebook.com, we were visited by one Mr. Zuckerberg at our SF offices. Quizzically, he asked us "Tell me... guys, what is 'design'?" In response, we pulled out this awesome kick-ass logo from our backpacks, flicked it casually across the table and said ... "Mark. Dude. Does this answer your question?"
