+I don't think you read what he said.
+what is the advantage of choosing a logo for which you have to explain
+what it *doesn't* mean ?
+Most people won't bother. They are turned off the first time, and after
+that every time they see Mageia, they are already programmed to ignore it.
+If that is how you want to promote Mageia, at least you risk to belong
+to a more exclusive club. But I don't think that most behind Mageia
+want that to happen.
+
+What we want is an attractive, distinctive logo, that will make people
+think of Mageia in a positive sense.
+Which means we avoid negative connotations, such as magic. (-1 for the
+cauldron symbol)
+We avoid logos too indistinct. (-2 for the almost-circle cauldron symbol)
+We avoid logos that are not attractive in appearance. (-3, in my view)
+
+So tell me : where are the positives - for the average potential user
+not already committed to Mageia ?
+I'm listening ...
