Rod Widdowson commented on SIDP-515:
------------------------------------

I'll note in passing that the UK Federation CDS does what is described avove (logo with DisplayName as altTxt)

> 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
