# relogo: rel="logo"



 There is a new proposed "standard" rumbling around the 'nets on how to provide an up-to-date logo for a brand using the *<link>* tag.  The goal is to provide outside websites, applications, readers, and whatever else the Internet may bring with an always up to date logo. Think of it as your *favicon* for browsers, our the *apple-touch-icon*.  The linked graphic will be a scalable vector logo (SVG). Think about Facebook and Twitter (who aren't listed as supporters.) These two companies have their logos and icons plastered everywhere. Twitter has updated their branding quite a few times - now their bird is angled, first it was straight, and then who really knows. Either way, when you're on the Internet you could see hundreds of variations. If I could use an API to reference a service's logo through this standard life would be great. No more re-sizing JPEG or PNG files to fit my need, just reference an SVG and set my width and height. For more information check out [relogo.org](http://relogo.org/) and try out the API to check out foursquare.com and other listed supporters.
