I'm surprised that nobody is saying that there is nobody saying that 
each individual photo in the logo collage should be attributed.

Some countries include a simple attribution on the bottom of postage 
stamps.  Something that size in the bottom margin of something as large 
as a poster that can probably be covered when it is framed would be 
sufficiently discrete.

Nevertheless, omitting attribution when the poster is solely for 
personal use is not normally an enforceable violation.
