> So shall we get rid of IMG element altogether? now, there's an idea ;) get rid of <object> too whilst we're about it! :D [... starts e-mail to w3c ...]
seriously: your page (http://decaffeinated.org/archives/2005/09/27/logo) does provide an example of use of <img /> which can't really be argued with: the subject of the content is a primarily visual phenomena and you insert images which are examples of this ... an image gallery would be a more generic example. However, _the_ logo which is used for identifying a website: is it more important that it, (a), successfully identifies the site/company name to all users? Or, (b), that that it appears as a graphical element in the design? If you want (a), you could still quite reasonably use Patrick's h1+img suggestion, but you might also want to consider just using text and replacing it. If you want (b), then you have to use an image for practical reasons. > Company's name is text, logo is more. Sure it must degrade to the text in non > visual environment, but it does not hurt to provide richer experience in not > so limited browsers? you're right - I have agreed with this point already. The question is this: isn't that "richer experience" more a matter of style, rather than content? (In which case it surely belongs in a stylesheet?)
