It would be great if you gave the icon attributes different names,
similar to how it looks for sports or as my example.

Yes, I know I'll be duplicating data by flattening them, but I think it
makes it easier for the user to just select a logo type in a list box
and I'd prefer to not have to hard code the actual names. At the moment
I show all attribute names in the structure that:
- Starts or ends with "logo" (case insensitive)
- Starts or ends with "icon" (case insensitive)
- Ends with "url" (case insensitive)

So as long as you naming principles follow these rules it should work.
If your third party API supports custom attributes besides the "line1"
and "line2" it will also mean that a third party plugin can add
multiple logos on the bottom level if it likes to. I understand that
this probably doesn't make sense in most cases and probably not on the
Classic players, but it would for example make it possible for a third
party plugin to provide stocks data with three images (day chart, month
chart, quarter chart).
