I don't see anything wrong with "logger". A "driver" is something 
that drives (a device), a "logger" is something that logs. Just 
"log" would be ok, too. Both are in common use, and are terms 
that I would use intuitively.

"defaultLogger" or "currentLogger" might also be ok, but don't 
read as nicely. But please not "theLogger".
