Just to be perfectly clear, the logo size in terms of pixel dimension in the logo file are not changing, and will remain at 150x150. The display size of the logo on various screens, however, appears it will undergo some changes.

In terms of a 150x150 display size, there just isn't enough screen real estate on a 1024x768 screen to do it. The logo just takes up too much space at that screen resolution (I know, because I've tried a bit of redesigning of an OOTP screen to see if displaying logos at their full 150x150 size was feasible). My experiments led me to conclude the biggest size you could reasonably display a logo on a 1024x768 screen resolution was 120x120. That thirty pixel difference may not seem like a lot, but it really is.

And since OOTP's screens are designed to comfortably fit a minimum game resolution size of 1024x768, I don't think 150x150 size display of logos will happen. (At least, not without some rethinking of how the game displays its screens. I've got some ideas there, and a project I want to work on at some point...)
