+Hi,
+
+Sorry for the slow answer. Thank you very much for excellent feedback.
+
+The official palette would be excellent but as the 'mageia' text uses 
+the whole palette (text and dot on top of letter 'i') it would actually 
+mask part of the text nevertheless what palette variant 
+(http://www.mageia.org/en/charter.html) is used.
+
+Therefore it looks like the official palette is a bit tricky leaving us 
+with four options to choose from:
+1) Leave the bottom background totally off 
+(http://librestickers.com/mageia/mageia2.png)
+2) Add a line and text 'Powered by' that both utilize the official 
+palette (http://librestickers.com/mageia/mageia.png)
+3) Alter the mageia text palette to unofficial
+4) Use just some lighter official palette like color
+
+The sticker size is 18mm wide and 26mm high.
+The sticker background color is Satin White (matte) which is suitable 
+for all options listed above.
+There is also a chance of using brushed aluminium background sticker 
+which is very elegant and works nicely with options 1 and 2.
+One open question is also that should there be a text TM (unregistered 
+trademark) following the logo and/or text (as for example Arch Linux 
+prefers)?
+
+If everything goes as planned these will go for printing by the end of 
+next week and will be ready for distribution by 20th of May... 
+Hopefully.
+
+Regards,
+             Teemu

+P.S. Still planning to visit LinuxTag2012 and bring a stack of these to 
+Mageia stand plus there will be the 0,10e/sold sticker (from the coming 
+online shop) to the project (10-14% of the actual selling price)
