Sun Framebuffer Logos
This repository contains Sun framebuffer logos, i.e., the logos you see when booting a SPARCstation, Ultra, or other Sun machine. Unless mentioned otherwise, these are pixel-exact copies of the logos taken straight from the firmware.

Note
|
If the colors don’t look right, it may be a browser problem. E.g., on
firefox I had to set gfx.color_management.mode = 0 in about:config. The
colors in the images are exactly right, so just use a proper image viewer
instead of a browser.

How to Help
If you have any framebuffers with logos you don’t see on this page, you can help me out by sending me their firmware. All you need is a serial connection to your Sun computer. I wrote a little HOWTO document explaining the process.
The Logos
Original
This is the old logo as seen when booting a Sun-3 or early SPARCstation. If
you have a color framebuffer, e.g., a CG3, the logo is drawn in sun-blue
(that’s exactly #6441b4.)
