https://github.com/mdehling/sun-fb-logos/blob/main/HOWTO.ado... describes how to dump firmware images; I assume after that getting these is as easy as pointing binwalk or something at it?

Unfortunately, no, at least not in all cases. For some of these the logo was in Sun RasterFile format or in a simple (width, height, colormap, data) format. In other cases it took a serious amount of reverse engineering to extract the logo: For the RasterFlex-HR logo I had to read the colormap from the hardware directly because the firmware never initializes it.
