On my system (Debian sid) aptitude has the Debian logo in synaptics. Did  
you install and update the debian-keyring package? Or do you have an  
untrusted source in your sources.list? You can find the download source  
with "apt-cache policy aptitude"

(example)

$ apt-cache policy aptitude
aptitude:
  Installed: 0.8.10-6
  Candidate: 0.8.10-6
  Version table:
 *** 0.8.10-6 500
