I don't think there is, but is there any sort of consensus of the use of
"zoom" layouts?

1) How do you signal that one is available? I'd like to use text (as
opposed to an icon) but who is going to know what "zoom layout" means?
Perhaps "low-vision layout" or "low-vision version" work better?

2) How it looks. Do you have light type on dark background or dark type on
light background?

I actually had a bit of a discussion with Joe Clark on this issue during his London workshop last month. I'd argue that users of things like screen magnifiers, who are the target audience for zoom layouts, don't need excessively larger fonts and that the reversing of colours should also be taken care of by their AT. As for naming, imho it would also make sense to simply call it "single column / large size" or similar...
