Is Figure tag adequate for site logo

This can be the markup but I don't know whether it's semantically correct

<figure class="logo">
    <a href="http://sitios/julioverne">
        <img src="logo.jpg" alt="" title="" />
    </a>
    <figcaption>Brand Name</figcaption>
</figure>

Even though the definition that @lanzz provided looks like a good fit, a logo shouldn't be a figure, according to this:

Figures are meant for content referenced in the document, like in a text book about anatomy that explains where your heart is located and it tells you to "look at Figure 1". Logos are not referenced like that in websites, they are purely presentational.

The figure element represents a unit of content, optionally with a caption, that is self-contained, that is typically referenced as a single unit from the main flow of the document, and that can be moved away from the main flow of the document without affecting the document’s meaning.

Seems fitting for a logo to me.
