Thanks to new moves by Google and Apple…

The BIMI standard has gotten a huge boost, although it’s at the cost of the standard fraying and fragmenting. For Google’s part, they are now allowing brands to get set up with BIMI without having to get a Verified Mark Certificate (VMC), which proves your company owns the registered trademark for your logo in your country. That costly and time‑consuming requirement has hurt adoption. As an alternative, Google now accepts a Common Mark Certificate (CMC), which is much easier to get. For Apple’s part, they’ve introduced Branded Mail in Apple Business Connect, which shares the core authentication requirements of BIMI, but has yet another way of handling logo images that requires neither a VMC or CMC. So, while the core promise and requirements of BIMI are intact, marketers now have to follow multiple different processes to get BIMI to work across these inbox providers.
