I want to point to skiper's blog, who gave the whole "Logo" issue some
thought. It is titled, "Mageia logo - I don't like it".

But what he writes is very different from the usual "I don't like it,
it's ugly" posts. I explains in detail why he does not like it and why
he thinks it is not a good choice based on objective reasons. Although
I do not share his opinion I want to give credit to him because he did
not just complain, he put some thinking and time into explaining his
opinion.

BTW: He explicitely states that he does not complain about the
decision finding process.

Good reading, even if it is not my opinion :)

I just thought about his blog entry and when I think about our Logo, i see the following things in it:

Our logo represents the cauldron as it is the name of our testing environment. A cauldron has something magical in it, you put things in to it, and it comes something wonderful out of it, for someone not knowing what the man/woman does it sounds like a mirracle. Isn't just this the meaning of our philosophy? Providing the user a distribution where he thinks wow it works, it don't know how but it works.

And that's a point I see when thinking about our logo.
