There's a small number with gradients here

http://hexb.in/

but that's basically cases where the rest of the logo is boring that they
need a gradient to make it look nicer. In libvirt case, I think that using
a gradiant would just distract from the logo. Just stick with white background
and a border so it has good contrast
