R-E-S-P-E-C-T

Don't squish that logo. Don't flatten it down, don't bring the sides in. Please never re-size that logo misproportionately. Stop puling on a corner when you have placed it in Illustrator, or (God forbid, you are designing in) Photoshop. Side note: Photoshop is a photo editing program, not a layout program. You should stop designing in Photoshop, while we are on the subject....

Back to the logo you are hurting..... Don't force it to fit. Don't manipulate the logo in any way.

Show some respect to the designer who developed the logo. If you cannot get the logo on the page without changing it in any way-- besides scaling it proportionately-- then don't. You are showing disrespect to the craft.

It you can't do this, then please stop practicing graphic design. If you don't know that this is wrong-- screwing with that logo the way you are-- then you have no business doing what you are doing.

And I mean it. Just stop it.
