Okay, i found the logo here:
https://bitrev.net/%D0%B1%D0%B8%D1%82%D0%BA%D0%BE%D0%B8%D0%BD-%D1%85%D1%80%D0%BE%D0%BD%D0%BE%D0%BB%D0%BE%D0%B3%D0%B8%D1%8F-eb61dc72f6da (hope the link works)
The page is in Russian, but if you use the translator, it says the following:
December 16, 2009 - Bitcoin Core 0.2 was released. For the first time, the Bitcoin graphic symbol appeared on the icon of this version - the Latin letter B with two vertical lines, similar to the American dollar symbol ( $ ). Initially, there were two Latin letters BC on the Bitcoin icon.
So, according to the text, the logo should most likely have been created between the BC and and B Coin logo.
So it is NOT the very first version of the logo. I would still be interested to know where this logo came from and where it first appeared. I can prove that with the Waybackmachine further down in the text.
Yes exactly, that was also the only thing I found too.
In addition from the previous post, after
satoshi published the
big B logo which is an update from the first iteration of the
BC design and the incorporation of thai baht currency having 2 vertical strokes in it, a member by the name of
bitboy published a new design
[1] that is much more modern and minimalist in which he referenced the big B logo created by Satoshi, which also remains the design we use today.

https://bt.irlbtc.com/view/1631.0That's what I thought, too. The image files that Autumnleaf posted can't be accessed today either. But there should be at least a hint.
If you look at Waybackmachine, how the download page looked on 08.01.2010, as shortly after the release of 0.2, then you can see that the old BC logo was still used.
http://web.archive.org/web/20100108103942/https://sourceforge.net/projects/bitcoin/files/No, it's not the one. I don't know where you got it, but it looks like a variation of the Bitcoin logo that we're using now, which was originally suggested by bitboy. I guess the earliest logo was the golden coin with the BC in the middle. The BC was later on replaced with the BTC that we now use, but the coin and its color or the background remained the same. This was finally replaced with bitboy's version: a white BTC slightly slanting to the right, in Ubuntu font, and with an orange-colored circle as a background.
But why does it say 0.2 in the lower right corner? And why would someone fake something like that?
This is a good subject to me, it might have been on the forum before, but I have never seen something like this till now. Well, my advice to you is that you should not worry yourself about this, only Satoshi could tell the truth about it as many tests and samples would have been carried out before concluding on the recent design. Just like the name, Satoshi remains a mystery as we only know the pseudonym for reference purposes, such you are seeking can't be fetched, it will remain a mystery.
