How about having the logo tag have a title field that says "Go to home page" as well as changing the cursor to a hand? This will prompt users who hover over the icon without taking up room in the layout.
- tempestn 13y agoBoth good things to do, but they don't really solve the problem IMO. In order for any kind of mouse-over effect to work, the user has to move the mouse up into the corner and mouse over the logo. If they're doing that, they probably already have a good idea that the logo goes somewhere - likely the homepage. I'm wondering what percentage of people have no clue about that and would be likely to just get to your homepage however they got there in the first place (probably Google) if they can't see an explicit "Home" link. I expect this depends a lot on the audience though.
