If I'm trying to find out about the new Rocket Skates from Acme Inc then I'd
want to know that I was looking at Acme Inc's website - but why would I
care that it was a logo conveying that information?
Oh, and alt text is not "for the blind", it is there for any user or bot
that can't interpret images with their client and physical situation.
BTW, the longdesc attribute provides a facility for providing a description
of an image.

You gave a bad example, we called you on it, but now this has changed into a
discussion on what constitutes appropriate alt text.
