+Hello,
+
+Thanks for taking time to review our proposals.
+
+I refined my proposal to provide the necessary elements :

+
+I’m having some troubles in providing a text only version because I’m
+not experienced in font making, basically just the M and g changed from
+the standard bitstream vera sans font (and I added a dot on the iota).
+
+I already commented on some of the shortlisted proposals, but here is my
+top 4:
+
+1. Ofaurax’ proposal: http://www.flickr.com/photos/ofaurax/5118935499/
+It’s really neat and I think it allows much more alternatives than mine.
+I also like the fact that it looks related to the project, its design is
+quite simple yet very efficient
+
+2. F. Tizzoni’s proposal: http://www.flickr.com/photos/ennael/5021614782/
+I love this one because it shows the openness of the project, the
+colours are also quite uncommon among our competitors which may help to
+build a unique visual identity.
+
+3. Rarroyo23 proposal:
+http://www.flickr.com/photos/43049453@N04/5094404790/
+This one does not evoke anything special at first glance but I quite
+like the idea, and the gradient is well chosen.
+
+The font is not that pretty though and the reflection is a bit overused
+these days.
+
+4. AlexN83 proposal:
+http://www.flickr.com/photos/54316230@N06/5095733855/
+I like the concept of the bubbles, but to be electable it should get rid
+of both the linux and star.
+
+I had quite hard time to choose the last two, IMHO many logos are either
+too sophisticated or don’t evoke something special or look too much like
+other logos. It’s not that they’re not pretty, many look better than
+mine !
+
+Regards,
