It did in early 2016, which is why they changed the name. As previously stated, it was named Injustice Unlimited - a play on Justice League Unlimited - from summer 2015 to January 2016, when

(In hindsight, giving it the same name as

Injustice Unlimited was shelved and Sunset began working on an original game property called

they decided to try releasing a new build under a different name.
The reason for the nonsensical name and the laughable new logo, with "SOMETHING" crudely painted over "INJUSTICE", is simple. They had no idea if a simple name change would be enough to get the lawyers off their backs. Sunset wasn't gonna waste time coming up with a new name and designing a new logo only for it to be immediately taken down again.
At the time of the name change, every player knew it was actually called Injustice Unlimited. My guess is the initial plan was to finish the game within ~2 years, then return the game to its original name and release it outside of Patreon. But then two things happened - the game grew massively in scope, and it became a money-making machine.
Changing the name now would be unwise, since thousands of players only know it by the placeholder name. Yes, it's a dumb name but that doesn't matter. The only thing that matters is the content.
And making a new logo would be silly since it's really a placeholder name, and also no one really cares about the logo. It's also neat in a way - you can clearly see that it's a defaced logo, hinting at the fact that this may not have been the project's real name.
