+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.

+
+100% agree with Graham.
+The whole appearance must be coherent. There are special criteria which
+makes a good logo/web appearance, which I and possible most other layperson
+don't know.
+
+The best way would be, there is a marketing team which works out some
+proposals. The users can then vote for their favorite proposal. Maybe Graham
+can form such a marketing team? Are there other people with (professional)
+marketing and design experience? 
+
+What about Nuno Pinheiro? I would really love to see him working on that.
+Would be worth to me some donations :)
