+This page is a collection of semiconductors logo I see as top marking on packages of integrated circuits.
+All the logos are black only vector graphics.
+
+Here a list of sources I use to create them:
+- semicondutor company website
+- wikipedia article
+- registered brand logo
+- datasheets
+- picture of the IC
+
+The logos are derivate work.
+I always have to create them from scratch or based on one of the previous sources.
+They probably are under copyright, but I consider this database to fall under fair use.
