Logo Validation Errors

What Does “Logo Validation Errors” Mean?

“Logo validation errors” means the retrieved logo failed one or more SVG or BIMI indicator validation checks. The BIMI draft requires indicator validation, and the BIMI Group publishes an executable SVG Tiny P/S schema. Brand Indicators for Message Identification draft 14 documents the controlling requirement or boundary.

An indicator that fails the normative BIMI SVG checks must not be displayed. A provider-specific image-rule failure prevents display by that provider and must not be generalized to all receivers. Provider-specific image rules can add requirements beyond the shared profile.

Why Does Logo Validation Errors Appear?

Logo validation errors appears when the file is malformed XML, violates the SVG Tiny P/S profile, uses prohibited content, or fails another indicator rule. The exact diagnostic should be read at the scope of BIMI SVG indicator rather than as proof that every BIMI layer failed.

How Do You Fix Logo Validation Errors?

To fix Logo validation errors, run the complete SVG Tiny P/S validation set, apply any provider-specific checks surfaced by the validator, and correct every reported violation.

Passing one XML or schema check does not prove the complete BIMI configuration is eligible.

What Should You Verify After Fixing Logo Validation Errors?

After fixing Logo validation errors, revalidate the saved file and refetch the exact hosted bytes before retesting BIMI. Verification should use the exact public selector, URL, record, or file evaluated by the receiver.

The correction clears only this condition; it does not guarantee that a receiver will display an indicator.

Key Takeaways

• The affected object is BIMI SVG indicator.
• The direct correction is to run the complete SVG Tiny P/S validation set, apply any provider-specific checks surfaced by the validator, and correct every reported violation.
• Passing one XML or schema check does not prove the complete BIMI configuration is eligible.
