What it is

Brand Indicators for Message Identification. A DNS record pointing to an SVG-Tiny logo, optionally backed by a VMC (Verified Mark Certificate) issued by a trusted CA after trademark verification.

Why it matters

Visible-logo branding lifts open rates 10–20% and builds anti-phishing trust. Gmail and Apple Mail enforce VMC; Yahoo and Fastmail accept self-asserted records.

Who it applies to

Optional but high-leverage for email-driven businesses.
