Your alt attribute should be modified to correctly represent the
actual image. IMHO, 'logo' is not descriptive enough to be used as
alternative text for a linked image.

To consider two extreme examples if the MSNBC logo was linked to the
home page, alt text of MSNBC would be the least helpful,
although that is the exact equivalent of what happens visually for
sighted users, and they then use their acquired knowledge to understand
that it links

How about a dual approach of using ALT that describes the image (MSNBC)

Yes, but you seemed to suggest having that as the ALT, whereas I'd say

I guess it could link through to Information about the Company or

I think we can make this a design pattern. One thing that helps is
Linking back to the Home page via a logo placed top-left is one of those
design conventions/patterns that users of various experience appear to be
learning. I haven't seen novice users navigating this way, but certainly
users with moderate computer/internet literacy are.
However, I don't agree
For me it seems very natural to have it link back to home, but I would
also like to see an explicit link in the navigation to take me home as
well.

Christian, can you point us to an example where home text has been added to

We have had a few small projects where we did not link back to home

tried clicking on the logo to return home and were very frustrated
when the could not click.
So, based from practical usability experience, I am going

Hi Mark, I agree accessibility and usability go hand in hand. However,
changing the alt text (it was actually descriptive on the test site)
still means the link descriptions are different.
I simply mentioned it as an example of a situation where the linked
image wasn't working well from a
