    Restore the block-art logo, with a "- C++" caption underneath

    Reverts the plain-text wordmark from the previous commit: the block font
    (no case distinction) already reads as "TORLINK", so the original three
    lines come back unchanged, with a small "- C++" line added below to keep
    the C++-rewrite branding.
