alt="Facebook logo"

The phrase Facebook logo will only appear if the Facebook icon failed to appear on the website for some reason. For example, if the source to the image is wrong, the text inside the alt attribute will be shown instead of the photo

I hope that helped

The Alternative text is something for software like Screenreaders and Search engines to read. You can put anything in the alt attribute but it should be meaningful and descriptive to the image. :-)
