This element is optional but there are applications that can leverage this element in metadata so SP operators are encouraged to provide a link to a logo that meets the following requirements. For example, a consent interface . A consent interface, for example, may use a visual cue (i.e., a logo) instead of or in addition to the Display Name.
SP operators are encouraged to provide a link to a logo that meets the following requirements:
The logo must be specified using an HTTPS URL . The and the host in the URL must reside in a domain owned by the IdPSP. These are the only strict requirements of a logo URL in metadata.
The actual size of the logo may vary. You will be asked to enter the actual width and height of the logo (in pixels). The application will select your logo (or not) based on the actual width and height entered into metadata.
Generally useful logos are thought to will have the following characteristics:
- the logo should have a transparent background
- the logo should have a landscape orientation (width > height)an aspect ratio between 4:3 and 16:9 is considered optimal
- the logo should have a minimum width of 100 pixels
- the logo should have a minimum height of 75 pixels
Logos that meet the minimum width and height requirements can be scaled down by the application as needed. Logos that do not meet the minimum width and height requirements may be ignored by applications.
There is no consensus as to what constitutes an optimal aspect ratio. For some applications, an aspect ratio between 4:3 and 16:9 is considered optimal. Other applications will have a page layout such that an approximate 2.5 aspect ratio is optimal. A future version of the administrative interface will accept multiple logo URLs so that sites may provide a variety of logos.
