Comment (by sami.keijonen):

 Agreed that site title would be nice default alt.

 Did some more testing.

 1. Go to the Customizer >> Site Identity.
 1. Click Select logo.
 1. Pick image and write alt text.
 1. Click Select.
 1. Crop image.
 1. Save and Publish.
 1. Cropped image doesn't inherit the alt text that I just wrote in step 3.
 1. If I go back to Media library and add alt text to cropped image, it
 does show in up in custom logo.

 This is probably how it should work but step 7. still feels weird to me.
 I'd expect that alt text would be in logo image because I just wrote it.

 I was testing in Twenty Seventeen.

 Also note that if I use image that I don't have to crop, alt text is
 naturally there.
