These look great, though I'm not sure I can justify $25 each on tshirts..

Also, I think this is the first time I've seen a .biz that wasn't spam-related (or is it?!?!)

Surely someone still owns the trademarks to many of these? Get 'em while they last.

FWIW the author claims this in the FAQ:

This is cool and all, but you aren’t the owner of any of these logos. Aren’t you going to be in deep trouble?

Trademarks need to be renewed fairly often. Even old logos from companies still in business get abandoned and die. Everything on this site is legally kosher as far as public records are concerned.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Sun didn't fail; it was acquired and the right to the logo are Oracle's.

Microsoft didn't fail either. Who said anything about "Failed company logos on t-shirts"...?

The site itself:

"A history of silicon valley failure written in t-shirts"
