Logging out of an OIDC RP only shows the clientID instead of the name on the logout page

Hi Max,

to have a readable client name, you should use SAML metadata XML format 
for OIDC instead of JSON, see here 
https://shibboleth.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/SC/pages/1912406916/OAuthRPMetadataProfile

Having this, you can then introduce mdui:UIInfo tags in "SP" metadate, 
like used in federations, e.g. here https://doku.tid.dfn.de/de:metadata

Regards

Martin
