Decisions need to be made with regard to pallett and style.  Graphic artists

and Marketing will need a style manual first before there is a decision
about 
the logo.  To do that there needs to be an identifying of target market 
because different pallets appeal to different demographics and engender 
different reactions.  We need to identify the sort of emotions we want to 
engender in that target market.

We need to go to the market determined to succeed, so that when the world 
hears Linux they see and think and feel Mageia.  Choosing logos and pallets 
and marketing materials is not something you leave to a lottery.

100% agree with Graham.
The whole appearance must be coherent. There are special criteria which
makes a good logo/web appearance, which I and possible most other layperson
don't know.

The best way would be, there is a marketing team which works out some
proposals. The users can then vote for their favorite proposal. Maybe Graham
can form such a marketing team? Are there other people with (professional)
marketing and design experience? 

What about Nuno Pinheiro? I would really love to see him working on that.
Would be worth to me some donations :)
