Comment (by LiamMcArthur):

 I agree. I personally think it's overkill to have another input box for
 the user to specify a custom alt tag for their logo. I think the site
 title (or even tagline, if a site title isn't set) should suffice.

 Replying to [comment:2 joedolson]:
 > I'm inclined to think that the ideal default alt attribute for this case
 would be the site title. That's likely to be appropriate in most cases -
 even if it's not a formal match for the text on the alt attribute, it
 would probably convey the same general information.
