The vertical size of a supporter (how much screen real estate they get) is too dependent on the shape of the supporter logo. For example, see the attached screenshot of the PLDI website. Because HP (and to a lesser extent Intel) have round logos, when the formatting sizes them to hit a uniform horizontal size, it results in them getting a disproportionne vertical size.

It seems silly, but it is the kind of thing people can be sensitive about. It would be better for each sponsor to have a uniformly sized box (or at least uniform within supporter level gold/silver/bronze) instead of having the size of the box be determined by the shape of the logo.

I couldn’t figure out how to attach a screenshot; please just refer to the support list at http://conf.researchr.org/home/pldi2015.

Thanks for reporting, setting max height to +- 70px in next release.
