In my opinion, the question is wrong to begin with. No matter the
mechanism, it will be at least as bad as vlc_object_find_name(). The
premise that the logo object must be found is flawed.
vlc_object_find_name() sucks. Fundamentally. If it were just an
implementation bug, I would already have fixed. But its design is wrong,
and that cannot be fixed short of using another design.
