Re: [WSG] Placement of company logo

[Richard Czeiger]

However, there is an argument that has the logo in the CSS particularly for branding purposes. Hear me out...   You put the logo in the CSS. Nice and big and branded etc... Then you make a special logo for, oh I don't know, mobile devices. Small, crisp, pixel perfect. Now your users can see both and mobile users don't get frustrated waiting eons for your massive logo to show up on their mobile browser (not that it fits inside the window anyway).   Doing it this way IS good branding. It's also about controlling HOW you want your logo to appear in certain context. Anyone that's written a Corporate Style Guide will know what I'm talking about...   You've also got to ask the question, that if people have CSS switched off, it's probably because they don't want to see any non-relevant information (visual or textual) possibly becuase of bandwidth restrictions etc...   If you've semantically coded your header with something like:   <div id="masthead">     <h1>Company Name</h1> </div>   Then they'll still see the name of your company - which still lets them know who they're dealing with and that that company cares about how they prefer to view the web. That's also good braning (maybe more on the brand personality side of things rather than the brand visual side).   R  :o)    ----- Original Message ----- From: adam reitsma To: wsg@webstandardsgroup.org Sent: Monday, October 10, 2005 11:25 AM Subject: Re: [WSG] Placement of company logo My thoughts entirely. I would definitely want the company logo as an IMG element. If your company's site was to be viewed without the use of CSS, would you still want the logo the appear? I would. --adam-- On 10/10/05, Peter Ottery <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: >> What do others think? 1 vote here for always making the logo a regular <img> and part of the html markup. reasoning for me is a pretty simple one. its content! :) cheers, pete ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Peter Ottery ~ Creative Director Daemon Pty Ltd 17 Roslyn Gardens Elizabeth Bay NSW 2011 www.daemon.com.au ****************************************************** The discussion list for  http://webstandardsgroup.org/ See http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm for some hints on posting to the list & getting help ******************************************************
