** The series' logo had different variants before settling on the finalized look. The [[https://deadline.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/moon-girl.jpg earliest version]] borrowed the comic book logo with a pink font color for "Moon Girl". A [[https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/disney/images/4/4e/Moon_Girl_and_Devil_Dinosaur_revised_logo.png/revision/latest?cb=20211012185734 second one]] has the neon and stylized "Moon G!rl" and blocker red text for Devil Dinosaur.
** Lunella and Devil Dinosaur's [[https://deadline.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/moon-girl.jpg designs]] from the initial 2018 press release reveal also differ from their finalized looks. Notably, Lunella's Moon Girl design had a purple torso and a crescent moon logo on her helmet, which became a racing stripe in the final look. Meanwhile, Devil Dinosaur had white sclerae instead of yellow, and lacked a pink underside color to his body, being completely red like the comic design.
