InCommon Technical Discussions

["Farmer, Jacob" <>]

Since this is a functional requirement instead of a technical requirement, I 
think it's useful to ask what we are trying to accomplish. Is it so that the 
logo renders well?

If so, I think that instead of putting a requirement, it would be useful to 
pull together a page for the logo designers to help them understand the 
situations when the logo might be used, and then let designers resolve that 
problem. As opposed to making it part of the requirement.

Requirements

I’d say “Transparent background encouraged” If you’re logo is blue and the 
IdP’s background color is blue it can cause your logo to disappear or become 
unreadable.

    I have avoided trying to be specific with my desire for the baseline
    requirements for logo since any requirement for logo is new to InCommon.
    
    I am pleasantly surprised to see that you are considering requiring
    sensible formats (PNG/JPG) and a required size (80 x 60). Thanks!
    
    As long as you are going this far...
    
    Do you want to add this?
    
    - Image must have a transparent background
    
    Without a transparent background the logos can look "funny" (or
    downright obnoxious) when embedded into a discovery service or IdP login
    page that has made its own choice for color scheme.
    
    Thanks for your consideration,
