This is just a small, kotlin idiomatic facade over sl4j, and you can use one static slf4j Logger instance in all classes if that is your preference. I usually do the first suggestion, if there is more then one class in the file logger is created, they all have the same logger name, but that is usually fine, since you are probably grouping them in one file with good reason.
If you need to have different names of logger for different classes, method 2 will work fine
