Uh, I think the green box is just there to illustrate how big the logo area would be in the redesign. It's not an actual design element in itself. (I did the same sort of thing when trying some screen redesign ideas. I'd just make a box of a given size in a solid colour to quickly and easily show me the logo area taken up by that given size.)

Two things:

1) As I recall, HTML outputs and the like are mostly coded by Andreas;

2) The aesthetics of the game screen designs do matter. It's also a bit disheartening for a logo creator to spend a lot of time making a logo that looks really good only to have that effort be mostly wasted since the game displays that work at such small sizes.
