 > I'd like to see a clear explanation of why ''core'' needs to have a site
 logo ''and'' a site icon, and how we would present that distinction for
 users before supporting this personally.

 already don't understand why they need a site title ''and'' a tagline; I
 don't know that having site icons and logos is justifiably needed for 80%,
 or even a majority, of sites. Perhaps if we can find a way to expand the
 site icon feature to support different versions of an image (ie, non-
 square variants as opposed to a separate option) we could satisfy more
 complex needs while keeping things simple for the typical user.

 IMO the reasoning behind the need for this feature has already been
 explained pretty well, but I do agree that having both a site "icon" and a
 "logo" could be both pointless and maybe even a bit confusing in some
 situations.

 I don't think a logo and an icon be considered the same thing as they have
 very different purposes; however, changing the site icon into a more
 catch-all "site branding" module might be more reasonable than adding a
 completely separate logo component.
