Okay, I'm moving closer to supporting separate
GrA / PhA CSVs. Others may argue that the GrA
sets are indeed related, in much the same way
that Magic Lolitas is a predecessor to Magic
Angels.
I support separate CSVs because the GrA sets
were re-logoed and re-issued by PhA.
I'm confused by what you mean by appending the
logo variations to the sets. I assume that the
set folders should be renamed to include the
logo type, e.g.:
\16-08nastya - Team logo\
If this is what you mean, then I would tend
to disagree. IMHO, an analysis of which logo
appears on any given set is the substance of
which supplemental text files are made. Such
a text file might also include other relevant
data, such as dates of photo shoots, cross-
references to other sites which bear related
sets, etc.

I support re-naming only because it facilitates
downloadability of multiple sets in a single pass,
and may help to avoid future confusion about a
set's origin.
However, I am in favour of dropping the '000-'
portion of the file name, as being superfluous.
'alena-021' would be my choice. This would
better match the way sets were re-named in
CD's CSV.

Quite the contrary - confusion is likely to abound,
and will undoubtedly be found in the most unexpected
of places. :-)
I merely wish to minimise its impact, if possible.

Speaking of 'willy-nilly'... There are a few sets in
CD's CSV that were named that way. CD's Katerina20.06
is actually 20-06Katerina (at least that's the way the
folder existed on-site). Some sets utilise underscores
between the set name and image number in the file name
(22-05-2-Anna_001.jpg), others use dashes (1608-001.JPG),
still others use nothing (Angelina001.JPG). Most sets
utilise 3-digit numbering (1608-001.JPG), while others
use 2-digit numbering (1708-01.JPG).
I support the use of the dash and 3-digit numbering, as
this is the format originally utilised by the web site.

You've been a tremendous help and asset to the community
as well.
