It's fine when your bugs are (unanimously) cool, be it Heartbleed, Meltdown, Spectre or Load Value Injection (this one gets a hilarious video even).

For less cool bugs a logo and a name seems rather... strange, because it happens all the time and it's not clear why it's special. Imagine a coworker fixed a random JIRA ticket which may be "switching to night mode does not work on a certain page" and then named it "Nightfall" and a logo and a landing page and a lot of bragging in the next periodic meeting.

Well, that would be hilarious.
