remove box borders

Question

I have the following code, in which I fit three logos into a box:

  \setlength\fboxsep{0pt}
  \setlength\fboxrule{0.5pt}
    \fbox{
        \begin{minipage}{14em}
            \includegraphics[height=4em]{images/logo1.png} \\
            \includegraphics[height=4em]{images/logo2.png} 
            \includegraphics[height=4em]{images/logo3.jpg}
        \end{minipage}
    }
  }

Now, I don't want the borders/margins of this box to appear. Is there an option somewhere to do this?

Thanks.

It's a FrameBOX instead you can use an \mbox. See this : http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/83930/what-are-the-different-kinds-of-boxes-in-latex — percusse, Nov 29 '12 at 18:22
Just drop the use of \fbox, or set \fboxrule to 0pt (not 0.5pt). — Werner, Nov 29 '12 at 18:26
why use fbox with 0pt rules? that just causes TeX to do a lot of work for no visible effect? just use \mbox instead as in the first comment. (Note that your box has a word space either side of the minipage, which you may want to omit by putting % as in \mbox{% — David Carlisle, Nov 29 '12 at 18:35

You should simply write

\begin{minipage}{14em}
  \includegraphics[height=4em]{images/logo1.png} \\
  \includegraphics[height=4em]{images/logo2.png}
  \includegraphics[height=4em]{images/logo3.jpg}
\end{minipage}

There is no need to enclose the minipage into an \fbox (which by default draws the borders) nor to set parameters. A minipage environment by itself forms a box (without drawing the borders).

Here's an example which illustrates one way to achieve this effect.

\documentclass{article}
\begin{document}
{\setlength{\fboxsep}{0pt}%
\fbox{\begin{minipage}{14em}
    \rule{14em}{0.4pt}\rule{0.4pt}{4em} \\
    \rule{14em}{0.4pt}\rule{0.4pt}{4em}
    \rule{14em}{0.4pt}\rule{0.4pt}{4em}
\end{minipage}}}
\end{document}
