when one puts a non-capitalized phrase inside quotation marks like that, it generally means the author is either using a colloquialism or is coining a phrase for ironic purposes that they want to make clear to the reader represents a view the author doesn't personally hold. In either case, the "screaming savage" doesn't look like a proper name to me, and the way it's written certainly doesn't make me think that's the OFFICIAL name. In any case, the logo's not even a caricature.
