NOTE: This suggestion is for Confluence Server. Using Confluence Cloud? See the corresponding suggestion.
Update: please refer to my comment for the latest status on this ticket.
Thanks for the continued feedback and completing the survey, which helped us understand your pain points with the current design. The majority (84%) of example logos provided were rectangular in shape, so simply preventing the rounding of space logos (as some requested) would not solve the problem for these 84%. Therefore, we have built a new uploader which works for both square and rectangular logos.
With the current uploader, you can only select a portion of a rectangular logo, e.g.:
With the new uploader, you can zoom out and crop ‘beyond’ the border of the image, allowing you to fit the entire logo in, e.g.:
This works for a square logo as well, and allows you to adjust it inside the area that was previously clipped due to the circular mask.
These changes will be shipping in Confluence 5.6 and in a Confluence OnDemand update in the next few weeks.
Thanks again to all for your input and feedback, I'll now be marking this issue as closed.
Regards,
John

With Confluence 5.0, rounding of space logos was introduced and enforced as the only option.
Some logos do not lend themselves to rounding and look quite bad with it. There should be a way to set space logos without modification as before.
Workaround
For a workaround involving CSS (as well as background on why rounded logos were introduced), please see this comment.

[CONFSERVER-28275] Provide a way to avoid the automatic rounding of space logos
K15t's Scroll PDF Exporter has a feature that lets me work around the issue for PDFs. I presume Scroll HTML Exporter will do the same for web help.

Still looks terrible in Confluence itself, but unless Atlassian changes the licensing we're never going to use it as a web server for customer-facing docs anyway.
Why is this marked "resolved"? Our new logo is rectangular and it looks terrible in my PDF output. I tried the "quadratic" plug-in but it doesn't seem to help.

No Problem. It is just that "Sandler" is not a nice thing to say here in Bavaria - you could loosely translate it to "hobo".

Come to think of it, I hate it when people change my company logo, too.

added a comment - kathleen I am not a Sandler. Thank you @Martin Sandler. But, sadly, it still doesn't fix rectangular logos that are crushed into oblivion.

added a comment - So well over 2 years since the insanity began, it's well and truly been forgotten. Martin, it's awesome that a third party has released a tiny-plug in for something that should never have been done to the main product in the first place. Those of us on OnDemand, we can just continue to suffer.... or migrate.

added a comment - Nicklas, I suspect a large proportion of the 84% is also dissatisfied with the solution. The 16% is only the ones that didn't care that the logo is now round.

I may have found the root cause of the problem: http://www.news.com.au/finance/business/australian-tech-company-atlassian-valued-at-35-billion-despite-having-no-sales-staff/story-fn5lic6c-1226879660894
If I was having that much fun, I'm not sure that I'd bother fixing bugs either.
