Comment 3 Sam Johnston 2010-04-19 10:05:53 UTC 
There are use cases for both logos (which vary in aspect ratio) and icons/avatars (which should be square) and as such it may be worth including both. Compatibility with Atom may also be useful.

See also comment from #7544: 

"It's easier to convert a square to an almost square rectangle (eg 57x60) than
to convert a rectangular logo to a square. Giving users the ability to
advertise both should ultimately result in a higher quality and better fit for
purpose."

Given that the mapping to Atom section has been removed, any objections to closing this bug?
Comment 7 Sam Johnston 2010-06-07 14:35:18 UTC 
Not from me.
