Personally I think svg is a bit overkill for something that will take up a small place in terms of dimensions.
In the case of png's, I think there only needs to be a maximum resolution, and there should not be any empty space around the logo. Why? Because by using horizontal and vertical aligning and setting <keepaspectratio> to keep, the skinner can position and size any logo the way he wants.
The interesting thing is that with the files I've converted so far...there's actually about a 50% average reduction in filesize. And Vector Magic has got a nice batch-conversion feature...I can have everything converted to svg in about an hour.
I understand your feelings on .png; but the problem will remain that somebody will always want a bigger image. Almost guaranteed. While you and I both can't see a reason for wanting a giant studio image...I can bet someone will.
And I get the idea about not needing empty space...but it seems that there was a logical reason for wanting it. Something to do with the great variation in dimensions for the logos...
