I would argue (without sounding too much like a marketeer or graphic
designer) that a logo (particularly if it's not just just text in
a specific typeface, but also includes swooshes, ticks, whatver) 
is more than just a visual representation of text,
in the same way that a head and shoulders passport photo of a person is
not just a visual representation of the person's name - and nobody would
hopefully argue that my photo should be marked up as my name and then image
replaced with the photo. It's part of the company's identity, and as such
is content - to a certain extent anyway.
