Dual-logo targeting on dual-branded sites #639

Open tomstringer opened 8 years ago

tomstringer commented 8 years ago

Requested by Melbourne School of Government.

Expected behaviour

There are a number of sites that use dual branded logos, approved by the Branding team and implemented using a single svg file (see electionwatch.unimelb.edu.au and vca.unimelb.edu.au for examples).

This request is to make the two logos separately targetable, so a click on the University logo takes you to the University homepage, but a click on the School of Government logo takes you to the homepage of that school.

Actual behaviour

Currently these dual logos are served with a single svg file and a single targeted link. It's only possible to make this dual logo go to a single location. In most cases (as above) this is the uni homepage, but in some instances, it's the site homepage (see http://ihouse.unimelb.edu.au).

I think this is right, but I'm not sure if we should change the behaviour now.. @deanbrobinson @herrweis ?

Yes, this was chosen deliberately when we implemented the VCA design. it is really confusing for the user to go to two different locations — that's why the faculty/school is the first position (including a home icon) in the breadcrumb. This problem will probably be addressed in the brand architecture project as well, so we should not implement something new that might change again in 6 months...

No worries. Happy to feed that back.

For what it's worth I think the expected behaviour sounds logical. It's crossed my mind before. Hopefully the branding architecture project will sort it out.

Graduate Online website would also like to request the logo URL for our website to change to online.unimelb.edu.au. Currently when prospective student go to one of our landing pages like -online.unimelb.edu.au/lp/ageing-a, upon clicking the logo he is directed to the main Uni website. This is a major customer experience issue, which needs to be addressed.
