Should the default login page show the IdPName if a logo is present?

                 Key: SIDP-515
                 URL: https://issues.shibboleth.net/jira/browse/SIDP-515
             Project: Shibboleth IdP 2 - Java
          Issue Type: Improvement
            Reporter: Rod Widdowson
            Assignee: Rod Widdowson


Feedback from a UK SP is this:

> The problem here is that the logo is very likely (though not certain) to contain the service (SP) 
> name. 
> 
> Displaying it separately seems redundant (in EDINA's case). What we would ideally like to 
> see is the logo, with the displayname as alt text, and the description underneath. That way 
> non-graphical browsers/screenreaders would display the displayname instead of displaying the
>  logo as primary visual identifier.

I'm not sure of the relative benefits of this.  I suspect it might be something to work through with REFEDS (https://refeds.terena.org/index.php/Revised_discover_project) and end up with a recommendation that SP logos should contain the SP name. The reverse (should not) is also possible, but may be a problem for sites who's logo is their name (like EDINA).

I am willing to hear that this is not for IdP2, so I will enter a similar case against the IdP
