This is not so. I can assure you that I completely understand SVN and VCS.

Choices were made to be non disruptive. Changing logos for the site is handled 
in exactly one spot. This means different names for different versions is 
entirely appropriate.

The logos differ. The names differ. 

If we are looking to provide a canonical path to a single current logo for 
third party use then that is a different question

I agree that the name is long, changing it would be simple, but to what?

Author is the committer and if they are representing others contribution then 
they can easily indicate that is so.

If creating a PNG based on an SVG then include the SVG path in the comment.

If you would like to discuss common conventions and sizes then please create a 
cwiki page and start a new thread.
