I agree PNG preferred. I also think we should require a higher-resolution format (say, 600x600 or something like that) with instructions that it should also look good scaled down to ___ (whatever the target resolution is). That way we have a high-resolution logo if ever needed (like, for example, in the manual PDF) without having to scale it up.
I also recommend some kind of standard naming convention for logos attached to the JIRA. Perhaps: lastname-firstname-logo01.extension Where the numbers following the word "logo" represent which number it is that person has submitted. Just my thoughts.
