Initial comment:

@germa89 - #701 (review)

Why transparency is not allowed? I think all the images should be provided without background, and then, using your script, I would create two images, one with background for light theme and another for dark theme. Ideally we would like the users to provide two images (dark and light).. but if not, we could use the transparency stuff (if present), if not, then white/greish?.

asking all the libraries to submit a proper logo...

That's something for the branding team, no? In any case, then I'd guess they'd want to make them somewhat uniform.. and consequently, the landing page would be boring. I think the "simulation / creative" image approach work better here.

Gray background works (IMO) in both themes: 😉

Personal decision between... being totally right half ot the times, or being partially wrong all the time.
I personally prefer to fit one theme properly, instead of using grey which might look weird in all the cases. I would prefer priorise the light theme over the dark one, as I presume it is more used.
