I'm fine with this; I don't personally like the ofaurax one, but that
doesn't matter - lots of the community members like it!

I do think this next bit is important:

Also to the point: ask them please to get their successful logo in line
with the requirements if it isn't already (alexn83 logos are all very
close to Mandriva colours, have stars etc, for instance).

Shouldn't be necessary, should it? The community only really likes a small
subset, and only a small subset of the community actually commented...!
