You are correct that vector files do not degrade when scaled, copied, or resaved.
It's disheartening to hear anyone state "I can live with rounded corners" for a logo. That's not what branding is about. If the original does not have rounded corners, then you do not have the logo at all. Any logo should appear identical in all cases. The use of sharp serifs ...

Another indirect way would be to utilize GIMP's mosaic filter (Filters → Distorts → Mosaic) to produce a raster and then vectorize it. This method along with others is described in this mailing list exchange about the skin pattern of a turtle.
Here's a pattern I quickly generated with this method:
You can play around with the filter settings to achieve ...

JohnB's answer is definitely the best technique for Illustrator. Just in case, I thought of an alternative idea that you can use in any program.
I found this cracked soil texture in CG Textures (category Soil, there a few similar ones):
And adding a black and white filter and a Photoshop effect called Stamp, I ended up with this:
Because it's a ...

I know you tagged your question with inkscape, but this is how I would do it with Illustrator. Maybe you can do the same in Inkscape, but I'm not all that familiar with it.
In Illustrator:
1. Start with an arbitrarily colored rectangle
2. Apply a Stained Glass Texture to your rectangle
Effect > Texture > Stained Glass...
Adjust the settings as you see ...

I got the following answer from the Inkscape developer ~suv:
Technically not a bug - a horizontal (or vertical) line has only one
dimension, and the filter effects region thus too (i.e. the blur is
not visible).
Workarounds:
- Combine the line with the spiral (the bounding box of the resulting paths as two dimensions), and blur the combined ...

Open or Place the raster image into Illustrator.
Select the image and click the Image Trace button in the Control Bar across the top of the screen.
To refine the tracing, choose Window > Image Trace and you can adjust the trace options in the Panel which opens.

I snap a shot with an iPhone and then rebuild it in Illustrator. (I seldom get the results I want with auto trace -- unless you are going for that rough look).
I'm usually going for a pixel perfect look (iconography etc.) so in the amount of time it would take me to clean up the autotrace, I can manually trace it much more precisely.... I can also add ...

When we look at the dimensions of the circles in your SVG we can see that each of the circles in fact is not a circle but an ellipse. Also the stroke width varies from circle to circle being approximately 5 px only.
To clean this up I
selected all objects with the select tool.
adjusted the height and the width to exactly 340 px
corrected the stroke ...
