+Decisions need to be made with regard to pallett and style.  Graphic artists 
+and Marketing will need a style manual first before there is a decision about 
+the logo.  To do that there needs to be an identifying of target market 
+because different pallets appeal to different demographics and engender 
+different reactions.  We need to identify the sort of emotions we want to 
+engender in that target market.
+
+We need to go to the market determined to succeed, so that when the world 
+hears Linux they see and think and feel Mageia.  Choosing logos and pallets 
+and marketing materials is not something you leave to a lottery.
