What should the alt-text be for an image that contains text?

The alt-text should match exactly to the text contained in the image. For example, the alt-text for the Cal Poly logo should be alt="Cal Poly". You should also include the title attribute on the image. If the image is a link then the title attribute should contain the function of the linked image. For example. the title attribute for the Cal Poly logo should be title="Go to the Cal Poly Home Page".
