Simply download the attached png file or right click on the image below and select "save" from the pop up menu. When placing the logo online, be sure it's linked to http://saml.xml.org.
Note: It is expected that any person using the SAML XML.org logo does so in an appropriate fashion, the logo is not modified, the design colors and aspect are retained and space around the logo is sufficient so as to prevent the logo from being construed as part of another graphic element. The logo remains the property of OASIS.
