I don’t know what would be the recommended dimensions, but you’d have to crop your pictures so they all have the same ratio if you want something nice.

I believe the default category logo styles are a bit flawed, and uploading non properly sized images will quickly lead to a visual mess:

> That’s a great question and a good remark, Dan! A wide image can mess up the category’s description, and images with different ratios will make things uneven: Categories only: Categories + featured topics: Categories + topics: Boxes with subcategories: Boxes with featured topics:

From what I’ve tested, it doesn’t seem progress has been made regarding this layout and a wide logo can even make the description disappear.
