I thought the same, but that piece isn't available for this project. 
However, I've found public domain clip-art and such that can be readily 
modified to make simple logo outlines for most of the Houses. I'd be 
happy to have help, with the understanding that the logo outlines need 
to be usable in a variety of formats as suggested by the list, etc., so 
they should probably be either public domain, Creative Commons, 
Copyleft, or some other sharable license allowing modification. (The 
designs I've contributed are all Creative Commons Non-Commercial.) 
Anyone who contributes art or designs, as always, will get credit and a 
link back to a site of your choice (e.g. an online portfolio).

Here are the ideas I gathered from the Dragaera list circa December 2004:

"Got Morganti?" (suggested by several)

Polo shirts with a small House emblem on the breast (as well as other 
styles and items), in House colors where known (Yendi: black on black is 
supported by CP now-- I wish we could get the photosensitive color 
changing ink, but CP doesn't offer it.) (Suggested by several, incl 
James Griffin) - note that House heraldic animals are described in the 
intro to DZURLORD

Cycle image (as noted above, there is now a "sanctioned" cycle image, 
but it is not available for this project, would need to be re-created 
using logos from previous item), possibly Cycle poem in center or on 
back (suggested by several)

"Bitch Patrol" (suggested by several)

"Dead isn't as simple and straightforward as you think."  (Taltos)

"Got Klava?" with directions on back (Rocket T-Shirts has an 
unauthorized version that does not credit or compensate SKZB, 
suggestions on list in 2004 by Mark Mandel, Johne Cook, and Snarkhunter 
may pre-date that design anyway)

Phoenix logo on front, "NOT POLICE" on back (Michael Angelo Tripp-Russo, 
Rebecca) - CP allows printing on back of yellow shirts.

"Join House Jhereg. Travel the globe. Meet new and interesting people. 
And assasinate them." (Jeff G.) (My suggestion: "travel the Empire"?)

"Team" shirts: Adrilankha Jhereg, Northport Orca, Southmoor Dragons, 
etc. House heraldic logos, famous names, #17, etc. (Matthew Klahn)

"Everybody generalizes from one example.  At least, I do." (SKZB, 
mailing list post)

"If all you've got's a stick, everything looks like a kneecap." (Issola)

"There is a similarity, if I may be permitted an excursion into tenuous 
metaphor, between the feel of a chilly breeze and the feel of a knife's 
blade, as either is laid across the back of one's neck." (Jhereg)

"I'm with Kragar" (with or without arrow pointing left) (G Wilhelm)
(I was also thinking of a "Where's Kragar?" in the style of "Where's 
Waldo?")

"The Blue Flame
Let our staff handle the work for you."
(Appropriate restaurant-type picture in the background) (G Wilhelm)

"Candletown
Take your mind off your work"
(Appropriate beach scenery in background.) (G Wilhelm)

"Memory is like a whatchacallit." (Dragon)

War is Bad. Peace is good. (Rose for Iconoclastes)

"How many Yendi does it take to shapen a sword?"
"Three. One to sharpen the sword, and one to confuse the issue."
  (Suggested by Crystal)

Lavodes shirt with Sethra's lineage block (white Dragon's head, Dzur's 
claw on black), "Lavode" in an obscure font easily mistaken for an alien 
alphabet
