Luckily the same goes for me, all my favorites are still in :)<br>Tough they are nearly all different ones:<br><br>My choices and what comes to my mind when looking at them (in order of preferation):<br><br>1. http://www.flickr.com/photos/54316230@N06/5141934927/<br>All
 the smalls things are needed to put together to create something good. 
This logo expresses it perfectly for me. Also I like how it looks with 
text, as logo only, as icon and so on. Also looks like an instant 
classic and timeless. <br><br>2. http://www.flickr.com/photos/ofaurax/5127775007/<br>Timeless, modern, simple. <br><br>3. http://www.flickr.com/photos/54316230@N06/5063070488/<br>Heading in the right direction, we know where to go and what our goals are.<br><br>4. http://www.flickr.com/photos/54240048@N08/5013673327/<br>Flames
 are dynamic, always changing. In connection with linux it lets me think
 of a bleeding edge distro. Nice colors, but don't like the font.<br><br>Kind regards,<br>Enrico<br><br>&gt; Date: Mon, 29 Nov 2010 22:01:14 -0500<br>&gt; From: andr55@laposte.net<br>&gt; To: mageia-discuss@mageia.org<br>&gt; Subject: Re: [Mageia-discuss] Logo proposals discussion<br>&gt; <br>&gt; <br>&gt; Romain d'Alverny a écrit :<br>&gt; &gt; ...<br>&gt; &gt; Step 1. already occurred:<br>&gt; &gt; ... first short list of 77 files:http://www.flickr.com/photos/tags/mgared/<br>&gt; &gt;<br>&gt; &gt; Step 2. is the reason of this mail. 77 is still a lot,<br>&gt; &gt; ... we prefer to start the discussion now.<br>&gt; &gt; ...<br>&gt; &gt; We are Thursday Nov. 18th. That makes the public discussion open until<br>&gt; &gt; Wednesday Nov. 24th.<br>&gt; &gt;<br>&gt; (I got a second identical message - this time it must be for mgaorange)<br>&gt; <br>&gt; Luckily, my red list choices are still in the orange list :)<br>&gt; So I mostly restate what I said then :<br>&gt; <br>&gt; First of all, I think that despite the guidelines, "Linux" should <br>&gt; usually be included with the logo and "Mageia", if not an integral part <br>&gt; of the logo.<br>&gt; After all, we are promoting/presenting the Mageia variety of Linux.<br>&gt; I like putting "mageia" in lower case - except maybe the "m" - and <br>&gt; putting "LINUX" in small caps below, to the right of the "g".<br>&gt; <br>&gt; My preferences, in approximate order are :<br>&gt; 1) &lt;http://www.flickr.com/photos/42998910@N02/5078260989/&gt;<br>&gt;      mageia_variations by gejobj.<br>&gt; These are 11 variations (by colour/font) of the same logo.<br>&gt; These are based on <br>&gt; &lt;http://www.flickr.com/photos/42998910@N02/5012718103/&gt; marisa_mageia_v2 <br>&gt; by the same designer, also on the selection list.<br>&gt; A cube showing 3 faces, forming an "M" below and an "L" above, with <br>&gt; "Mageia" to the right, and a small "Linux" below to the right of the "g".<br>&gt; My prefered colour scheme is column 2 row 2. (blue+green "M", orange <br>&gt; "L", violet "Linux")<br>&gt; My prefered font for "mageia" is column 2 row 4 (last), due to open "g" <br>&gt; (simpler) and "a" (not easily confused with "o").<br>&gt; For "Linux" it is column 1 row 7 (last), non-serif proportional small caps.<br>&gt; ----<br>&gt; <br>&gt; 2) &lt;http://www.flickr.com/photos/ennael/5021614786/&gt;<br>&gt;   mageia_ftizzoni05 by ennael, from F. Tizzoni.<br>&gt; An "M" formed of 4 oblique rectangles, 2 tones of violet, 2 tones of <br>&gt; orange, with "Mageia" below to the right, an orange dot on the "i".<br>&gt; Very distinctive.<br>&gt; For colours, the orange is very nice.  Maybe the violet could be light <br>&gt; green or blue-green instead ?<br>&gt; The font is ok, except I would use an open "a", to avoid confusion with "o".<br>&gt; (This was listed as my 4th choice last time, because it had been removed <br>&gt; from the MageiaRed pages.)<br>&gt; ----<br>&gt; <br>&gt; 3) &lt;http://www.flickr.com/photos/54316230@N06/5063070488/&gt;<br>&gt;      mageia7_1-01 by alexn83<br>&gt; compass with "Mageia" to the right.<br>&gt; I would use the "M" on the simpler dial above, oriented to NE so as to <br>&gt; hide the points NE and SW.  This simpler image should scale better.<br>&gt; I would also make the circle regular.<br>&gt; These changes should make it more easily recognisable in different <br>&gt; contexts as well.<br>&gt; And without the direction letters, multilingual :)<br>&gt; <br>&gt; For the font I would use a sans-serif proportional, with the "a"s open <br>&gt; to the left, to be more readable.<br>&gt; I would apply this font to the "M" on the compass as well.<br>&gt; And no colour gradiant in the font.  (Leave that to the image.)<br>&gt; The colours go well together.<br>&gt; Note that this proposal seems very similar to another computer logo that <br>&gt; I've seen in the past, but I can't place it.<br>&gt; ----<br>&gt; <br>&gt; 4) &lt;http://www.flickr.com/photos/55329486@N03/5134846325/&gt;<br>&gt;      mageia_logo_6 by sisopetron<br>&gt; Mageia in black with a green star for point of the "i", surrounded, in <br>&gt; background, by 5 circles, filled in progressively lighter blue.<br>&gt; The 5 spheres representing 5 continents ?<br>&gt; The font is ok, except I would use an open "a", to avoid confusion with "o".<br>&gt; The green star would be better reduced in size - so as to not overlap <br>&gt; the letters.  The green makes a very nice accent.<br>&gt; The version with green-blue instead of blue in the spheres looks also <br>&gt; very nice.<br>&gt; ----<br>&gt; <br>&gt; my 2 cents :)<br>&gt; <br>&gt; - André<br>&gt; <br>&gt; <br>&gt; <br> 		 	   		  </body>
