Should alternative text contain text other than what is visually conveyed in logos? #8

Open anevins12 opened 3 years ago

Should alternative text in images of logos contain information other than what's conveyed to sighted users?

The alternative text of logos contain the word "logo" or the numerated instance of the logo, i.e. "logo 2". Alternative text is useful when describing an image that has information valuable to people that visit the page and the terms "logo" or "logo 2" may not be useful.

@anevins12: Here is how I updated the logos: alt="SpeedScore logo: a white golf ball with two red esses inside it" alt="SpeedScore logo: a white golf ball with "Speed Score" written inside it in a red, stylized font"

Is this what you were thinking?

Apologies for not clarifying here, I meant to say that the words "logo" and "logo 2" should be removed from the alternative text. "Speedscore" would work fine here as alternative text. Hope that helps
