They can be found on DVDs, VHS tapes, books, and video games. Even Blu-Ray.

As for a website with them all, however, I've tried searching for them. If there is one, it's totally obscure. :?

Yes. Your best bet is to get Hi-Res scans of the various DVD covers with the monsters you need. I am pretty sure you won't get all of them, but the majority.

This is a good idea. The strangest logo I've heard of is one for the Dorats from Godzilla vs. King Ghidorah. According to Godzillawolf on the old boards, it was on a VHS cover.

I wonder if Zone Fighter has one? King Caesar didn't have his on the back of the DVD case for Godzilla vs Mechagodzilla but then he did for GFW which makes me wonder if his was made years later as an afterthought or if it was made before but they had never used it until later.

I have a whole bunch of these. There are a few lacking (most notably Krystalak and Jet Jaguar's from Godzilla Unleashed), but it's most of them. Here they are in convenient zip form: http://www.sendspace.com/file/6wikej

Also, here are two that I made for fun, a couple years back:

For years, it's bothered the crap out of me that Toho uses the MARVEL GODZILLA look for the Godzilla icon. And It looks pretty bad, frankly. It was never changed, and shows how little the guys responsible for said icons at Toho, actually care about such details.

Nice collection of icons Titano

There are only a few missing from there, that I can tell. Other icons also in existence that I know of are:

-Kiryu
-Jet Jaguar
-Dorats
-Aqua Mothra
-Mothra Leo
-Death/DesGhidorah
-Dagarah

Both Kong and Mechani-Kong don't have one for obvious reasons. I can't recall if the remainder of the SPACE AMOEBA crew have icons or not, I'd have to double check the DVD. There also doesn't exist one for the (Showa) Mechagodzilla, which I always thought was kind of lame since he is the incarnation people are generally most familiar with. Clearly Toho didn't even opt for a MG icon until after the 93' film..

Krystalak also has one, but I don't think Obsidius does. At least, it wasn't used on the case for Godzilla: Unleashed

*Checks my DVD.* They do.

I wonder if the gang from Yamato Takeru have them, as well as Super Godzilla and the monsters from Godzilla Trading Battle.

A Super Godzilla Logo would probably be hard to tell apart from a SpaceGodzilla Logo.

Wow! I'm glad that there's someone else who noticed that aside from me! Perhaps Toho liked the comic book series?

Knowing Toho, I don't think that'd stop them.

Yeah, but I doubt you've been collecting Japanese Godzilla merchandise for 20+ years that have had said icon on it. It looks bad, plain and simple.

You're logic on the Mechagodzilla icon doesn't really make any sense when you consider there are FOUR icons for Godzilla's adopted son. (Minilla, Baby, Little G, and Junior). Like I said, the Heisei incarnation was the "face" of the Mechagodzilla character at the time when Toho started using these icons on their merchandise with more frequency. I'm sure that's why that design was picked. Also, an icon for Kiryu also exists, which kind of negates your entire argument in the first place

I always do like the logos on the back of the DVD's, VHS, Games, and Books. I remember the G98 toys would use the Baby Godzilla icon from GvsMG '93 for the icon for the Baby Godzilla's in the movie. The American Godzilla use the normal Godzilla icon as well until 2005 when the G98 Special DVD edition cameout, and use the Zilla FW Icon instend.

Look Goji, I'm sorry, I didn't know this was such a personal issue for you, I didn't mean to offend you, okay?

I'm pretty sure LP Godzilla will use the normal Godzilla icon for stuff like toys, games, and DVD's as well.

All four have different names. Of course Toho would make sure they're all covered.

Again, different name.
