What VMC, CMC and BIMI are
A logo appearing in the inbox is the result of three things working together.
BIMI is the standard that allows your Brand logo to Display next to Email in Gmail, Yahoo Mail and Apple Mail. To enable it, your Domain must publish a BIMI record in DNS pointing to an SVG Tiny PS logo file, along with an Authentication certificate proving that logo belongs to you.
That certificate has two types. VMC (Verified Mark Certificate) issued for a logo with a registered trademark at a recognized intellectual property office. CMC (Common Mark Certificate) for a logo not yet trademark-registered but already in real use by the business — narrower in scope than VMC.
Prerequisite before applying for the certificate: the domain already has SPF, DKIM and DMARC at enforcement level p=quarantine or p=reject. Without DMARC in place the logo will not display, even with a certificate.

FAQ
What to know before deploying VMC/CMC.
What is VMC, and how does a logo end up displayed in the inbox?
A VMC is a certificate that authenticates a brand logo under the BIMI standard. When an email is sent, the mailbox provider checks DMARC, BIMI and the validity of the certificate before displaying the official logo next to the message.
What is the biggest difference between VMC and CMC?
VMC suits brands that hold registered trademark protection and need the highest level of verification. CMC suits businesses that want to display a logo in email with more flexible implementation requirements, subject to the email provider's conditions.
Does DMARC need to be in place before buying VMC/CMC?
Yes. DMARC is an important prerequisite for BIMI and VMC/CMC to work reliably. HiTechCloud can help check and configure SPF, DKIM and DMARC before you apply for the certificate.
Does displaying a logo in email improve marketing performance?
Yes. A clearly displayed logo makes email stand out, increases recipient trust and improves the results of customer care, sales and transactional campaigns.
