I still claim it is absolutly better, if it's headeing... let it be text. Screen reader otherwise reads it "heading one. image graphics. Company logo" ... it is much much more nicer if it says "heading one. Company name dash online computer store" image graphics bla bla... and than you also need to point out with alt text that the image graphic is "Somecompanyname logo"... I prefer the text in headings.
EDIT -> ROB, don't get me wrong... When I said "If you'd listen to screen reader", I was not pointing at you... It was just a figure of speech and for those who did not listen to screen reader... cya!
