Description
The Brand
component provides the BBC service logo (as SVG), nested inside a styled link and div. The link is currently hardcoded to "https://www.bbc.co.uk/news".
Brand
takes a product
, svgHeight
, minWidth
, maxWidth
, url
, serviceLocalisedName
, backgroundColour
, logoColour
and svg
as props.
The product
is passed to a VisuallyHiddenText component, nested inside Brand.
The serviceLocalisedName
is an optional prop referring to the local name of a service eg Yoruba
. It is also passed to VisuallyHiddenText inside the Brand component.
The svg
prop must contain a group
, viewbox
values and a ratio
, which is used within an svg
element. Examples of the svg
object can be found in @bbc/psammead-assets.
The minWidth
and maxWidth
values are required to allow the ability for the svg
element to dynamically scale as the viewport becomes a very small size EG: feature phones.
The svgHeight
value acts as a placeholder for the svg
element meaning the overall banner height does not change with the dynamic scaling, also the height
allows the contents of the svg
element to remain vertically centred within the banner at all times.
The backgroundColour
is the background colour and logoColour
is the colour of the SVG and the underline when hovering/focusing on the brand.
The url
value is the link that points to the frontpage of the service associated with the svg
.
The scriptLink
can be used to render ScriptLink component which is a link to the service variant.
Exports
/skip-link
- Use the skip link component to help keyboard-only users skip to the main content on the page.

Usage
The typical use-case of this component is at the top of pages in a header
element. When this is done it is recommend that the component is wrapped in a banner
role. However, a header
with a banner
role should only appear once on a page.
When using Brand
in the header, you should ensure that borderBottom
prop is set to true. Similarly, when using brand on the footer you should set borderTop
to true. This ensures when in High Contrast Mode on PC and when the user changes colour preferences in FireFox that the top/bottom of the Brand
component is visible.
ScriptLink
component should be passed to scriptLink
only when linking to a service variant.
import Brand from '@bbc/psammead-brand';
import SkipLink from '@bbc/psammead-brand/skip-link';
import { igbo } from '@bbc/psammead-assets/svgs';
import ScriptLink from '@bbc/psammead-script-link';
import { C_POSTBOX, C_WHITE } from '@bbc/psammead-styles/colours';
import { latin } from '@bbc/gel-foundations/scripts';
const scriptLink = (
<ScriptLink
service="news"
script={latin}
href="https://www.bbc.com/serbian/lat"
>
Lat
</ScriptLink>
);
const skipLink = (
<SkipLink service="news" script={latin} href="#content">
Skip to content
</SkipLink>
);
const Header = (product, serviceName) => (
<header role="banner">
<Brand
product={product}
serviceLocalisedName={serviceName}
svgHeight={24}
maxWidth={280}
minWidth={180}
svg={igbo}
url="https://www.bbc.co.uk/news"
backgroundColour={backgroundColour}
logoColour={logoColour}
borderBottom
scriptLink={scriptLink}
skipLink={skipLink}
/>
</header>
);
When to use this component
The Brand
component is designed to be used where a BBC logo is required as SVG. Brand
is used in the BrandContainer, which consumes a service context it passes to the Brand
.
Accessibility notes
- Visually hidden text is provided (e.g. for screen reader users)
Brand
is keyboard-accessible and provides hover and focus styles- The brand SVG has support for users with css disabled or high contrast mode enabled.
Additional notes
width: 100%
is needed on both<a>
and the<svg>
to allow the brand to dynamically scale on the Firefox browser
