Right, but they uploaded the file in 2012, and the history for that page goes back to 2010. So did the page for the logo file exist before the logo file? I think not. Maybe Wikipedia deletes copyrighted images or something?
I see. You are correct, I found this template: "The previous version(s) of this file are non-free. These older revisions are no longer being used in articles, and therefore fail the Wikipedia non-free content criteria. The current version will not be deleted, only its previous revisions." in the version version of the page that existed before the current one.
I actually find it a bit surprising that they delete the information (username, date, dimensions) related to the previous revisions, and not just the file itself in such situations.

Is there any way to see who actually uploaded the logo to Wikipedia?
I can't figure out a way to proper history on this page. It has an edit saying the actual logo was uploaded in Feb 2012, but the page dates to 2010. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Google_Reader_logo.png
The deleted image consisted of a stylized "Google" logo combined with "reader" rendered in the Google product font.
Administrators on the English Wikipedia can see the deleted logo at: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Undelete&...
In any case, the permissions on the current file have been updated and the attribution corrected.
Under "File History", User column:
