We should understand one important point: Mageia will not be defined
by the logo, rather the other way round.
No matter how the logo looks like, if Mageia turns out to be good,
people will attach the logo to something good. If Mageia turns out to
be bad, the logo will stand for something bad in the individual user's
view. It is not the logo which "sells", it is the still the product. I
never heard anybody say that he bought a Mercedes because he likes the
logo. People test Mageia and like it - next time they see the logo
they remember that it stands for a product they experienced as a good
product.
