What is BIMI?
Brand Indicators for Message Identification (BIMI) is an email standard that displays a brand's verified logo next to authenticated emails in supporting inboxes (Gmail, Apple Mail, Yahoo). It requires Domain-based Message Authentication, Reporting & Conformance (DMARC) enforcement (p=quarantine or p=reject) and a valid Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) logo published at a Text (TXT) record: default._bimi.example.com.
What is a VMC and is it required?
A Verified Mark Certificate (VMC) is a digital certificate from an approved Certificate Authority (CA) (DigiCert or Entrust) that cryptographically links your logo to your domain and trademark registration. Gmail requires a VMC to display the logo; some other providers display logos without one. VMCs cost ~$1,500/year and require a registered trademark.
What SVG format does BIMI require?
Brand Indicators for Message Identification (BIMI) requires Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) Tiny Portable/Secure (PS) — a restricted profile that forbids scripts, external resources, and most animation. The image must have a 1:1 aspect ratio and a solid background (transparency is not allowed). Your SVG must pass a BIMI-specific validator before it will be accepted by mail clients.
