..and yes, I agree it looks better with just the symbol, as that's what every other logo uses there too.
We could use a vertical version (symbol and the text underneath) but the space is a bit tight there on that list, so Boxes would need to redesign that list to allow more space - but essentially it is using the logos as icons for new virtual machines. The description on the side will contain the OS name and version number information.
OS type as a default icon for new virtual machines sounds like an useful idea.

Hello,
I made a quick test by hacking the boxes XML for Fedora, so it used the mentioned logo: https://roboxes.org/res/centos.svg
It looks good to me! Screenshot attached (obviously it reads Fedora but ignore that part and see the logo)

What we need is the logo that is missing from the ArtWork page to be contributed to the project so we can host it natively on the wiki.
Would the person who made this SVG file (copyright holder) wish to contribute it to the project under the CC BY SA 3.0?
I'd intended to ask a designer to make the logo without wordmark file, but if you've got a submission that is accurate -- and especially is derived from the existing logo files so that the colors are 100% accurate -- then whoever made that derivative can submit to the CentOS Project under the same license as the parent file.
Does that make sense?
It helps by moving us forward on one of the missing bits -- a logo without a wordmark on the Logos page that can be used under the existing trademark guidelines.
@tigert -- can you look at the logo file & confirm that it is good? I don't know or really care if it's derived from a particular source SVG as much as I want to be sure that the uncompressed details (colors, shapes, etc.) are 100% matching to the SVG with logo + wordmark.
Best,
