Greg,

Looks good, but I have one suggestion that I believe is very important

From reading the page you linked, it sounds like a program must meet *all* accessibility to be able to display the Mac accessibility logo. In some cases this may be impractical or impossible. I suggest at least three separate variations...one for complete accessibility, one for VI accessibility, one for hearing-impaired accessibility.

An example of why...

I'm not going to try to come up with an example specific to Mac, but a more generalized one. A Braille'n'Speak, one of the notetakers for the blind, cannot practically be made accessible to the deaf. Photo editing software would be totally accessible to someone who is deaf, but virtually impossible to be made fully accessible to someone who is blind. And so on...

Lumping everything into a single logo I think is too restrictive and will hamper the cause.

JMHO.

Would you folks take a look at this and tell me what you think?

Mac Accessible Logo Program is a CUCAT program to insure that your Macintosh applications and hardware products are meeting a high level of accessibility standards for use by the blind, deaf, print disabled and others with similar conditions. Products passing our reviews will be permitted to display the Mac Accessible logo on their packaging, advertisements and web sites.
