Here they use a Summon image (with tiny illegible writing) to brand their search and a link to information and video about Summon. But do users really care? I'm not saying we should hide the search vendor branding entirely but does it make sense to feature it like this?

I like how they simply call Summon "Summon" on the Find Articles page and give the option to search the whole library world. Other than that they don't bother the user with branding and you get the same results for a search from the tabbed search on the homepage as a search on this page.

Here they have branded their search "ArticlesPlus" instead of calling it Summon. I don't like it. Articles plus what? I think NCSU's way of handling the branding is better. It doesn't hide it but also doesn't make it central. If we used this direction, it should make for an easy transition--branding wise--from PCI to Summon.

I have a short article along with the video of my talk at ALA and a video of a talk I gave at Code4Lib Midwest outlining the basics of how this kind of analysis can be done on any site.
