No previous message | Next message →
Hello all,
If I have a set of webpages where the logo on the homepage announces
as "ABC logo home" and the rest of the pages as "ABC logo", does that
fail WCAG 3.2.4 Consistent Identification? I understand the word
"home" in the homepage is to convey the logo is on homepage but yeah
it makes sense to understand the logo on other pages as well without
cognitive overload.
Regards,
Allyssa.

WCAG 3.2.4 Consistent Identification applies to functional components. If the logo isn't a link then it isn't a fail of that SC.
If it is a link to the home page then it has the wrong name on all pages and is redundant on the home page.
If it isn't a link then including the word "home" on the home page only makes sense if it is the page's main h1 heading.
There will be some disagreement on whether the alt text for a logo should include the word "logo". Not a big deal in my opinion but I would leave it out.
