I do not require any vitamins.
The best vitamin is no vitamin (besides b12, which should be in soy milks etc.) Vitamin absorption is marginal and if you're not careful you can actually OD on certain nutrients. Try to incorporate natural sources into your diet.
I'm assuming you're a new vegan, and when I first became vegan I remember thinking I need x vitamin within a day or I'd turn blue or something. Its really not as urgent as one tends to think. That said, vegan nutrition is important. Grab some literature and find a good grocer. If you are willing/able to get a vegan sympathic dietician that won't hurt either.
Hope this helps!
HOW BOUT SOME MEAT
I have always been very happy with Solgar. they make almost all their products with veggie caps:

i have a better question... what do vegans eat???? you can't have anything dairy, nothing meaty, no eggs. can you eat vegetables??? those are plants and they're alive! they have feelings too!!!
I don't take vitamin supplements... but I suggest a balance diet consisting of staple (wheat, rice, potato etc), various veg and fruits. Soy products for calcium and proteint. That should cover the necessary nutrients that you need daily.
Do you require any type of vitamins specifically?
GNC offers many of their vitamins and supplements in a vegetarian/vegan form. I don't know if it's the best, but it is the brand I'm most familiar with.
Do a search on "vegetarian vitamin supplements" You should get enough hits to keep you busy for hours :-)
