Clicking Logos

January 24th, 2006

One thing I’ve found myself do a lot more recently is clicking on the logo to return to the homepage. This works most of the time but it is often frustrating when websites provide neither a home link or a clickable logo.

I wonder how popular this method of navigating websites is and whether the normal end user will work out that the company logo links to the homepage.

I’ve made an effort to incorporate this into websites that I create. It’d be interesting to find out whether anyone else normally clicks on logos to return to the homepage and how many sites on the internet implement clickable logos.

    My preference is to check for a homepage link when I visit a site, but if I can’t see one, I then click the logo. Failing that, I just manually edit the web address.

    My own preference is to click the logos to get home, they usually stand out more then a "home" link.
