Not necessarily. The alt can just be "Company name". And if the logo has
a strapline "Company name - strapline".

The fact that it's a logo is irrelevant. Alt reflects the meaning of the
image, which in the case of a logo is to brand the content with the
company's name.


Ok, you are right about alt text that there should not be a "logo" word.

But what is the point of explaining to the screen reader user that this is a
image graphic, and then not telling him what is on it... If you say "this is
company logo", he would be thinking "Aha, ok that is company logo." if you
say, "Company name".. he does not know what the image graphic is
representing... But that is not souch a big deal...

A big deal is -> why does he have to listen to the "heading one. image
graphics. Company name - online computer store..." if he could listen to the
"headeing one. Company name - online computer store..."?

Still it is better to have a text in heading instead of  graphics. Is that
not right? Can't you just move that logo somewhere else, because screen
reader user realy does not care about your logo image? He is more interested
in information - text based information.
