<p>Text used as part of a logo or logotype is exempted from contrast requirements,
under the assumption that logos/logotypes must comply with stricter color choices mandated

<em>user interface component</em> (such as a link or other interactive control).
In these cases, authors should choose a variant of the logo or logotype that has sufficient
contrast, if allowed by the corporate identity guidelines.
Alternatively, authors should provide an equivalent <em>user interface component</em>
which serves the same purpose and does meet the contrast requirements.</p>
