Come on. Names are a necessity, even in research: call them "Speculative execution vulnerabilities One and Two" and everybody will get confused.
Of course there is no real need for logos, but then again, if the guys who find these bugs have some in-house art team, what's the big deal?
And by the way:
> If these particular vulnerabilities hadn't been given catchy names by the researchers that discovered them, would anyone have batted an eyelid ?
Maybe I'm the only one, but when they told me "Look, this process can read inside the memory space of any other process, without authorization" I batted my eyelids all the way, regardless of names.
