- DigitalOcean stopped sending free Hacktoberfest t-shirts in 2023 due to sustainability and spam concerns.
- The author decided to make their own Hacktoberfest t-shirts after their old ones wore out and couldn't find replacements for sale.
- DigitalOcean's Brand Guidelines prohibit creating physical merchandise or selling products with their logo, but the author argues their project is personal use.
- Finding high-resolution logos for past Hacktoberfest t-shirts proved challenging, with some years missing entirely.
- Resources for logos include Kotis design agency's portfolio (2015-2020), Dribbble designs, and archived SVGs from the official website.
- The author is missing high-resolution assets for 2014, 2015, 2021, and 2022 t-shirts and welcomes sources for these.
- If missing logos can't be found, the author plans to create their own design for personal use.
