Are you gifting the copyright as well as the right to use the logo? Good practice is to mention this on the webpage to help people know where they stand. The two usual options are: 1. When you give the right to use the logo, you also give the copyright in the logo along with it; or 2. When you give the right to use the logo, you retain the copyright. (Edit - at least from an EU perspective, you can also "assert your moral rights", which is a bit like requesting attribution. Or you can "waive your moral rights", which is like saying no attribution is necessary. This is an oversimplification but hits the main points.)

The github page says "[the project the logo is given to] will have all exclusive rights of the logo." So I think it's the first option.

  Yes, that may be what's intended, but it could be referring to the exclusive right to use rather than ownership of copyright.

Are you gifting the copyright as well as the right to use the logo? It’s not possible in every country for an author to waive his rights or gift the copyright. So I think it’s better to give a perpetual, open license that doesn’t restrict the usage rights?

Hey, After giving the logo, project owner can do whatever she wants with it. I'm not expecting anything from them. They can credit the project with courtesy though.

  An interesting scenario would if I use one of your logos for my project. Is that logo still available to be used by others? Potentially, more than one project could be using the same logo.

    One logo can be only given to one project. This project will have all exclusive rights of the logo. Every logo has one github issue that you can introduce your project to and claim. Community can upvote your comment and you can upvote other projects as well under these issues.
