They need to go in the following gameex sub-folder, in whichever theme you are using - for example in the folder 'Themes' --> 'Default - Default' --> 'Media' --> 'Logos'.

In the gameex config.ini you also need to put the file name. Eg. amiga.png would be in the config as StartPageLogo=amiga (If you want to use videos, they go in the same folder). I've you are using GameEx with a higher monitor resultion than default, you might want to make to pics larger to suit.

I think any size will work, but it's probably best to open up some of the existing logos and use the same sizes to save resizing within gameex. If you do a picture that is the equal number of pixels for height and width, it will distort the image, so best not to make it a square picture.

To make them, for pngs, it probably best to use Macromedia Fireworks (png is the native format for FW), though pngs will work in Photoshop also. I've not tried making pics with transparency myself, but I assume the pic is either left on a layer unflattened, or has an alpha channel.
