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

                 Key: IDP-101
                 URL: https://issues.shibboleth.net/jira/browse/IDP-101
             Project: Identity Provider
          Issue Type: Task
          Components: Authentication
            Reporter: Rod Widdowson

            Priority: Minor


Cross reference to SIDP-515 (https://issues.shibboleth.net/jira/browse/SIDP-515).

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'll note in passing that at the time of writing the UK CDS does something close, but not quite the same.  I am working to make the CDS be similar.
