Red Sift Launches BIMI Maker for Email Logos
Red Sift has launched BIMI Maker, a free AI-powered self-service tool that enables brands to get their logos displayed in email inboxes via BIMI (Brand Indicators for Message Identification). The tool guides users through preparing logos, checking email authentication, and applying for Verified Mark Certificates (VMC) or Common Mark Certificates (CMC). It aims to remove barriers like trademark and design requirements that have prevented adoption. Currently, about 50,000 domains publish BIMI records, but only 6,500 have certificates for logo display. Red Sift claims BIMI can increase email open rates by 39%.
Boost Email Trust: Sectigo Launches Verified Mark Certificates
Sectigo announced the availability of Verified Mark Certificates (VMCs) and Common Mark Certificates (CMCs) for enterprise customers and expanded certificate management via Sectigo Certificate Manager. The certificates enable organizations to display verified brand logos inside supported inboxes (using the BIMI standard) — including Gmail, Apple Mail and Yahoo — turning authenticated emails into visible trust signals. VMCs are positioned for trademarked brands and can qualify for Gmail’s blue checkmark, while CMCs enable logo display for organizations without registered trademarks. Sectigo frames the offering as a way to combat phishing, spoofing and brand impersonation, and to improve email engagement metrics such as open rates and brand recall by making authentication visually apparent to recipients.
