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...

Decisions need to be made with regard to pallett and style. Graphic artists+ 100 !
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.
That's what we need and what Mandriva lacked all the time : a marketing expert
Thx for bringing this topic to a professional level.
I do not regard the current work as minor, pls don't get me wrong.
There are some nice looking ones, no doubt. But for a project logo for
a worldwide player (even if not in the business world) it needs a bit
more professionality in the whole process.

that marketing stuff is quite as important as technical one (hey not as much, I'm still a tech guy ;) )
cheers
