Could you review and complete
http://mageia.org/wiki/doku.php?id=artguide with those you added? I'll
have some to insert as well.

Rights on artwork will have to be transmitted to the association,
which will register the logo as a trademark. Precisely because that's
a sensitive thing indeed.

Obviously a poll can be indicative, but decision in last resort will
be somewhere between the founding board and the community
council/board (more to come about this, very soon). Because a logo is
not only a like/don't like thing and it should fit the destination of
the project in the long term.
