 > ...  but it's not too bad IMO and the best we can do.

 Nope - there is yet another mode, I discovered it by accident. It scales
 the image proportionally, fitting the "least" side and the rest falls off
 the screen. In the case of a wide viewing area, this happens to bring the
 logo closer to the bottom, but there is slack space built in there. The
 logo sat on the bottom of the screen, not squashed. It looks a lot better.

 I believe the two primary proportions of screen commonly found worldwide
 are.. the long wide view, for laptops and movies; and the desktop PC
 screen (in other words, the tall vertical case is almost universally non-
 existant) .
