There are more than two. Each series has had multiple logos, though I think "Dragon Ball" has had the most since it can cover either the first anime series or the franchise as a whole.
Direct translations of the Korean DB Online timeline and guidebook.

I'm pretty sure there might be a few others from random products over the years, but I know for sure there is also one where the they fade from yellow to orange/red with a gradient throughout the whole logo.

Rock the Dragon Intro and I think the Faulconer intro
GT isn't bad, just sucks ass in comparison to the other 2 animes.

It was the logo used for the Rock The Dragon intro and all of the Pioneer releases.
Yamcha: Do you remember the spell to release him - do you know all the words?
Bulma: Of course! I'm not gonna pull a Frieza and screw it up!
Master Roshi: Bulma, I think Frieza failed because he wore too many clothes!

There are a couple more I can think of off the top of my head, like what appears to be FUNi's current "standard" logo for the original DB that they use on the blue bricks and video games:

Image

Dragon Ball Online logo:

Image

Raging Blast logo:

Image

Then there are the logos that Viz uses for the English tankobon...

Image

Image

There are a couple more you could throw in, like the VizBigs or kanzenban, but they're not really logos as much as "DragonBall" in bold typeface on the covers. :P

That was the logo on products relating to the 1996 Ocean dub.

It was also used on the monthly editions of the Dragon Ball/Z VIZ manga before it became Shonen Jump/digest exclusive, though the "Z" was completely different and was positioned behind the "Dragon Ball" text.
