InCommon Technical Discussions

[David Langenberg <>]

Not only logo designers, but also IdP / discovery UI designers.  This is a 
two-way street if we’re trying to make things look nice.

    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,
