When it comes to writing a book or producing official documentation, you need to know that you’re using the official logs, and your publisher will often look for due diligence of that there aren’t any issues with using/republishing the logos. There is the added bonus that the official logos tend to be made available with transparent backgrounds and usually include high-quality versions of the images.
There are a couple of common answers to this – trawl the project’s official gitHub repo and the vendor (or primary sponsoring vendor’s website – usually part of the PR resources). This takes time, so below are links to the logos I’ve found myself needing.
