[YouTube-API] Re: Chromeless YouTube logo position error in iFrame api

Hello Edwin,

The logo will be making its way downward starting in a couple of
days. I've also let the team know about the current thumbnail
stretching behavior being less than ideal. Zooming and cropping, like
the ActionScript 3 player does, would be preferable in my mind.

Cheers,
