Why limit it to "horizontal" logos? Vertical shapes are more
eyecatching.

How about the number of pixels? This way non-square logos wouldn't be
penalized as much. A 3.2:1 ratio logo would be presented at 112x35
pixels while a 1:1 ratio logo would be presented at 64x64 pixels. Of
course somebody might abuse this and create a 4096x1 logo, but somehow I
don't think that would be very popular :-).

Of course the logo itself isn't limited to any resolution. The pixel
limit only serves to show how the logo looks at a low resolution.
