Given the shift of name to remove Markdown completely, is it still important/appropriate to use the Markdown logo? I think the down arrow in a logo for something without "down" in the name creates confusion.

CommonMark is fully Markdown compatible, so the logo indicates that compatibility.
I'd presume the same with any other implementation that supports Markdown.

I still think it would have more charm and distinction as JAM – Jeff Atwood Markup – extension .jm – in tribute to the systematising rigour of John MacFarlane.
A jam jar would be a more appealing icon, and while jam.org is taken, markjam.org remains terra nullius.
