It looks like Magpid at first glance. I don't think it really matters what 
language (if any) has Mageia as a word, nor indeed what language any reader 
of the word may have as a mother tongue. Clarity is always vital in a trade 
name's representation so I would suggest we stick with un-ornamented fonts or 
at most a fairly traditional serifed pattern like Roman.

Yes, we have too many Ms in the world; besides, Burger King might get 
jealous:-)  On the other hand, a stylised M would fit well on a system 
desktop button, especially a Menu button.
