I want to have a t-shirt full of logos different linux distros.
Maybe 12 or 16 logos can fit into the shirt and i'll have a printed.

Can you suggest me some of best distribution logos out there? Of course the Ubuntu logo is counted in. :)

P.S. I would greatly appreciate if you can also give me the link to download the high res/vector/svg/png version of the logo. Thank you very much!

And remember, if you are making t-shirts to sell, get permission from each distro to use their logo.

Thank you. I already went there and i can't decide which ones to include, thats why i'm asking for.
And the t-shirt is only for me and only me, completely for personal use, so do i need to ask permission to the company?

And choose the logos that appeal to you. If it looks cool, go with it.

openSUSE has the coolest logo (even when I hated openSUSE with a passion, I always thought that chameleon was awesome :) )

Arch has a good one too, but it's too common outside of Linux too; it's just an A-like arch anyway.

Debian is about on par with openSUSE with me.

SUSE (it may be slightly different than openSUSE)
Microsoft Windows (ha! ha!.. just seeing if you're actually reading this list ;) )

Yeah, Distro watch has the list of them, plus by clicking on the link you can see if their logo is something colorful enough to put on a shirt.

Also, you have Ubuntu (old) and Ubuntu (new) to choose from.

outside of linux, slax would make you appear if you were in a gang.

Throw some *BSD's in the mix for good measure.

Thanks a bunch! It's about two years old and some logos are changed. But still lists some good logos.

BTW if you know some 'not so popular' distros but have cool logos, please let me know.
