What decides the size of the logo displayed on the Spotlight?

I thought the size would be determined by the resolution of the logo, but that seems not to be the case.

I have 4 examples. 

Link Click 800x310

Bleach 800x310

Clevatess 2400x772

Jaadugar 1200x637

Even though Clevatess and Jaadugar have a higher resolution, the other 2 appear a lot bigger. Why is that?

I'm currently in the process of changing the art for all my shows, but I'm unsure what resolution I should pick to have the correct size. 

Because while Clevatess has a good size, Link Click and Bleach are too big and Jaadugar is a bit small for my liking, even though the resolution would suggest it to be different. 

Any insights would be appreciated.

Don't know if this is specific to Apple TV or a general one.

It's constrained to a maximum height and width.  So a very wide logo that exceeds the maximum width will not be as tall as a narrower logo which will fill it's maximum allowed height.

The logo will always get scaled up or down to fit either the maximum width or height so changing the resolution won't do anything for you.

Ok, that explains it. But is there anyway I can adjust it? I'd like to get Link Click and Bleach a bit smaller and Jaadugar a bit bigger. Is there a way for me to achieve this?

Could you share the max width and height?

max-height="160" max-width="700"

There isn't anything you can do.  Maybe you could pad out the image with a transparent background.

One issue is that Jaadugar has images below the text, so it counts as part of the logo height. You could always crop that off.

In comparison, Link Click and Bleach is just full text from top to bottom

How do they look in the web app?  Same issue?

Checked it for the web app and the Windows app with TV mode enabled, they are pretty much the same. Same issue

But for the Fire TV Jaadugar is bigger, wihle the rest is the same

Is that because of the different Spotlight design? If it is and that one comes to Apple TV too, then i would be satisfied with it. But if not, could it be adjusted to be the same?

It's more likely to follow the web app which was the case before the recent update to Spotlight on the web app

Do you know how it compares to the new beta in the web app? As far as I know, the spotlight design should be changed to look more like the Android TV version. 

Is there anything else you could do to adjust it?

I would suggest providing raising feedback on the web layout on the beta forum https://emby.media/community/topic/145871-41001-revamped-home-screen-section-editor/page/22/

If there is a likely solution it will come from there, then the AppleTV app will follow the approach.

I'm not sure what logic the Android app is using for it's scaling, but the new spotlight on the web app limits the logo height to 10% of the screen height and 25% of the screen width, so the same logic as tvOS
