Attached pics:
1 - your orignial image - looks squished
2 - your 4:3 image - thinned out
3 - my cropped 520x210 image - Looks pretty good, I may play around with the dimensions a little more to get it exactly right

Thanks for the originals

Hmmm... 520x210 is 52:21 or 2.48. 4:3 is 1.33. That is a big difference.

Glad you found the size that works though.

Is anyone else having problems with a squished image?

I get the logo from here, and take it into Photoshop.

I use the magic wand tool to select the white area around it, and then press delete. Then, I just add a few layer styles to it. Finally, File > "Save For Web" > "PNG 24".
