I have two columns. Column A displays the logon names being used and Column B contains all possible logons (technically it's on another sheet, but I'll simplify). What I want to appear on column C is a list of all logons that are not being used. For instance:

COLUMNA:

Frank
Harry
George

COLUMNB
Frank
Harry
Jason
George
Steven

So what I want to appear in column c is:

Jason
Steven

I'd also like this to be dynamic, so as I pull logons and delete them, the list updates as well. I've tried VLOOKUP and got sort of an answer, but not quite the one. Any ideas?

This is fairly easy as long as you don't mind empty entries in your resulting list. In C1 enter:
=IF(ISNA(VLOOKUP(B1;A$1:B$5;1;0));B1;"")
and fill it down the column.

This will display in column C your required Jason and Steven, but in their original places as in column B, with empty cells where names were matched. But it will update as you modify column A. If you were fussed about the empty cells, you could sort the values, but you would have to copy the values in C somewhere else first, using Paste Special to freeze the result values, and then sort those values instead. The sort would otherwise have no effect on the formulae in column C.

I trust this helps.
