Consider logos and wordmarks like the ones at Wikipedia, Google, Microsoft or WebAIM. These are intended to convey the name and maybe the tagline of the organization. Our general approach for any image of text is to use the text as the ALT content.

The W3 uses this approach on their own properties, also nesting the <img> within a top-level <h1 id="logo">. So, good enough for me.

Best,
