One small problem... these seem to be designed for a tablet, not a phone like I imagine a lot of people use to access AT. This is presumably the reason Oskar chose to use a solid color background... you can stretch it any way you want and it still looks good. Rather than design a couple dozen different backgrounds for multiple resolutions it may be better to design two images (one portrait and one landscape) but make them in such a way that Oskar can set the image to "center" rather than "stretch" or "fill". In other words, the smaller the screen the more of the image would be cut out rather than trying to shrink the entire image down and having to worry about ratio and pixelation. This means that you would have to make the logo fairly small (to handle the smallest of screens) and most of the edges of the picture would have to be non-important to the overall view so they could be cut out on small screens without affecting it much and left in on larger screens without adding too much content to the image.

I completely hear where your coming from, but when everyone is happy with a design, I can easily make two versions (portrait/landscape)
Edit-------------------
That's one of the reason's why I like the path one, not only does it seem to fit the game more, but it would be much more effective at both AR's.
Edit-------------------
I forgot to simplify the background, I can always do that if people like it.

Shadow is faster than light - how else can it get out of the way?
to keep it small, which is the issue...
can we see one in 64 colors [6-bit RGB] ???
and as for landscape vs portrait...
i would suggest forcing the title screen into one position.
i think having two types would exacerbate the problem...
it's looking great so far, keep it up!!!
[i keep trying to picture it with the buttons & name field]
I just tried a couple of things (logo, icon kinda things), will give it a go with them as well, cheers.

wow, i really like the bottom one!
maybe it's just because it's cold & bleak?
no, but really... his world is harsh & unforgiving... (this feels right - to me anyway)
i also like how it's silently suggesting that Andor's Trail isn't a path, but a journey?
BTW: Kruncha, Again with the motivation?!
i love seeing the buttons on the screen, awesome work!
Thanks for the surge in activity, like I said keeps wind in the sails!

I'm really enjoying making these
I'll try a couple of things with the last image.
What do you think of the writing? (I think i'll try another text style and people can decide which they like most)

Another one...

I love it (just make it on my wallpaper picture)...
