Hi all: There was mentioned <logo> as a descendant element of the sectioning <header> element, just as an idea to solve the needs of the unacurate use of the <header> element it seems it occurs in our daily use, with the current spec. I could imagine other semantic elements,as long as e undertand the new uses population make of websites and the web. A <logo> element seems reasonable to me, both in a semantical and in a structural mode. Imagine: * Representing the page in other pages or directories ( through an API that crawls, search and makes an scrutiny of the pages, brands and its referenced logos ) . Solves the exposed in nightly spec, mentioned in my last mail. * <logo> As a possible linked reference or representation for new gTLDs. * Linked Correspondence between the <logo> and the <icon> an app has , or a bookmark visualizes, in a mobile scenario. Think of weareables connected to web pages. * A element acting as a reference for an object, that takes the weight offto other <header> elements descendants like <img> and <h1>, which, in my consideration are heavily misused, due to old practices. Stop my verbosity. Thank you for taking time in reading these notes.

Let's say you navigate to a site you're not familiar with via search results, a link, etc. You skip to the content as that's what you're interested in, but you like the content and want to find out the name of the website. To my knowledge, there's no go-to place for that information. It might be part of the <title> or an <h1>, but both of those elements relate more to the page than the larger site. > > To me it'd make sense to define such an element as a companion to <title>. Many authors currently lump the website name and the page title together in an arbitrary format inside <title>. Having a separate element for the website name would serve to discourage that, and would let user agents present the two pieces of information in a consistent and predictable way. > > Regards, > Pontus > > On Tue, 30 Jun 2015 at 12:46 Delfi Ramirez <delfin@segonquart.net> wrote: > >> <logo> sounds nice to me. >> >> As far as we move onto standarized browsers and mobile devices as the >> way we connect to the web, the proposed <logo> could be equal to the >> reference or representation shown in _svg=icon _or_ link-rel="ico"_ >> >> Just thinking. >> >> --- >> >> Delfi Ramirez >> >> My digital signature [1] >> >> +34 633 589231 >> delfin@segonquart.net [2] >> >> twitter: delfinramirez >> >> IRC: segonquart Skype: segonquart [3] >> >> http://segonquart.net [1] [4] >> >> http://delfiramirez.info [2] >> [5] >> >> On 2015-06-30 11:48, Martin Janecke wrote: >> >>> On 30.06.15 03:18, Garrett Smith wrote: >>> On 6/29/15, Barry Smith <bearzteez@live.com> wrote: From: "Garrett Smith" <dhtmlkitchen@gmail.com> Hey Garrett, My apologizes for not replying until now. When I posted my reply to the "Site-Wide Heading Element" thread, you were right and I should have posted a more complete example. Here is what I should have given as an example: <header id="banner"> <script src="scripts/header.js" type="text/javascript"></script> <noscript> <div class="styledText"> <div class="letterM">M</div> <div class="word">y</div> </div> <div class="styledText"> <div class="letterW">W</div> <div class="word">eb</div> </div> <div class="styledText"> <div class="letterS">S</div> <div class="word">ite</div> </div> </noscript> </header> Using the <div> element for purely stylistic purposes. Placing them within the <noscript> element displays the exact same header as is in the embedded <script> element, but without the additional animation used in the javascript file.
