I try here to join the conversation. first I would like to describe my musing:
principle is considered that all program logos are a corporate branding. This means that they are legally protected. In this knowledge I then created my logo packet as I have done as little as possible to look at changes..
with respect to the contrast / background color, this means if necessary, only minimal changes!
below I try to explain the scenario which I have adapted logos.
Black or Dark Background:
Whenever I am looking for new logos on the internet, I look for templates image with a transparent background, logical.. From my experience I can say that the cases are not found in 30 percent such. So I have to manually remove the background in photoshop (MAGIC STICK WAND function).
when the resolution of the template is insufficient, occurs at the outer edge of visible pixels. these are especially visible when using a contour. see this example (black background with contour):
However, these pixels are barely visible when a light background.
Most skins are designed dark. that is the reason why in my package only bright (such as glass modern) or transparent logos are available (for blue or dark skins).
Contour
My settings for the contour function look like:
The white contour is not seen then in a bright background. a gray outline would be sadly to see.
in my opinion it is not important to many different background templates offer. a transparent background is in most of cases and looks out even better / more professional. act playful colored logos.
Logo resolution
in my package you have the possibility to choose two different resolutions:
Other examples with and without contour / white or dark background:
Now I hope that this compilation is not quite offtopic.
have a nice weekend

Contour
My settings for the contour function look like:
- resolution at 200x200 pixel: contour height: 2
- position: outside (I do not want to change the original, branded logo)
- opacity: 60 percent
- colour: white
The white contour is not seen then in a bright background. a gray outline would be sadly to see.

Logo resolution
in my package you have the possibility to choose two different resolutions:
- 200x200 pixel (unfortunately still not standard in every package)
- 200x150 pixel (4:3 format)
- resolution: 200x200 pixels
- logo outside edge: maximum 190x190 pixels (see turquoise auxiliary/help lines)
- resolution: 200x150 pixels
- logo outside edge: maximum 180x135 pixels
Other examples with and without contour / white or dark background:
