Personally, I would just like for it to be eye-catching and look nice.
I'd be pretty shallow and gullible if I trusted *or* distrusted Mageia
due to the shape of its logo rather than personal experience or word
of mouth. If people perceive Mageia as trustworthy its logo will evoke
that judgment because it's associated with Mageia, not because it's the
source of the judgment.
