Same like responsive design in the web. The logo is scalable and has to adapt to any environment, both in digital and print domains.

Most of such resizing of icons. Starting from 1024x1024 to 16x16. The logo is more than the icon comprising of symbol and typography. So, for a responsive logo you need edit, change the size and give brand clarity.
More clarity checkout the Responsive Logo of COCA-COLA. Four different logos for the same brand. Purely responsive and self-explanatory. The easter egg on the small size logo is named as COKE. Because the word Coke is widely and commonly used by teens.
The responsive logo is generally comprising of max four sizes. Maxi, Mid Max, Regular and Small. All these sizes are used based on the need, location, and domain. The responsive logo is all about subtracting of design and element.
Responsive design is not just resizing shape or element.
