[Mageia-discuss] Artwork - Mageia Logo contest

Thu Sep 23 13:37:25 CEST 2010

As simple user I must say I have always needed Mandriva to look a bit
+geek-er :D
+I mean, some look to make it get out of the line of other linux distros.
+A good logo and a good look (in KDE also) are needed.
+Please take the time, do not decide on the rush, these are sometimes most
+important things in the eye of the newbies and unexperienced users in order
+to gain them.
+... the stability is well known...
