My CD/CEO is telling me that the brands/logo in the bottom right are impossible to read.
He wants to replace that design with something that spells the company name out in text, AND has the logo.
I mean, really? Am I nuts, or is this incredibly redundant? I've already tried to dispute it twice, to which I was told "This is not up for debate, do it this way, etc."
Please, QBN, at least give me the relief that I'm not wrong, regardless of whether or not I have to do it wrong.

Thank you so much. At least I can feel good about myself.
His argument is that the logos are too small for anyone to ever possibly read. The problem with that, is that EVERYTHING is too small for him to read, therefore everyone else in the entire world will have trouble reading it as well.

- Make it work for SEO purposes. Maybe put them in color as well. He obviously wants to highlight the partnerships.CGN

so he is saying, make the logos bigger than?

The other problem is, this is what they have on their site currently, therefore the bar is set really low. I mean, honestly, MAKING THE LOGO BIGGER DOES NOT MAKE YOUR BRAND BIGGER.

What's the point of a logo then?

You are not nuts.
People read brands/logo like an image.. not text. If you put text, people will have to read the list, rather than be able to just take a peek at that corner of the screen. So logos are more end-user friendly.
My guess is they want the text for the spiders. The question is, should SEO trump design?
- No, NOT EVEN. Our CEO/CD wants it graphical, so SEO means nothing for this part.noRBG

The company we're doing the site for does maintenance and repair for those brands, so he's got it in his mind that people are going to look for the logos and move on if they don't find what they're looking for immediately. So of course that means the logos need to be 400% bigger.

Sorry, but the precious "AccessAbility" term-thing makes me want to punch a puppy.
- Tell me about it...wanna know something funny....the same CEO/CD came up with that...noRBG

Personally i think you could show the logos in full color or black without it hurting the composition. As the same blue as the header/nav they tend to become part of the design rather than something that should stand on it's own.

I make all my logos a fraction to small simply so that when I'm asked to make them bigger they end up the right size.
