Well, one could take one of the logos from www.debian.org/logos/ and use
Gimp to make the background transparent.

(Create new file with transparent background, copy the red curl into
here using the 'Select contiguous regions' tool, Image > Mode > Indexed
and save as .gif)

Here's a 1028x1270 logo with transparent background I made myself this
way, taking the 64k 'Gimp' file from www.debian.org/logos/ :

S.H.

You'd better to go into the "Layer" / "Transparency" menu and choose the
"color to alpha" option. It will usualy automatically make the transparency
look fine AND handle the "blurry" border selection smoothly (in my opinion).

And starting from the large "gimp" file source of course !

There are SVG versions of the logo available.

Possibly easier to deal with. You can import them into GIMP, or use a
vector editor such as Inkscape to edit them.

Learnt something new. Thanks.
And yes, the border selection appears to be anti-aliased, which is not
the case when using the 'Select contiguous regions' tool.

On the Debian Website you will find the Debian Swirl as XCF file
and if you open it in "The Gimp" you can switch off the Background.
