I'm swamped with all the mail on on vacation... but it's worth
pointing out...
First, define the target audience for the distribution:
. users (technical? non-technical? age group?)
. investors (current and potential)
Also, places where a logo is likely to be used...
. small, e.g. 32x32 or 64x64 pixels on the desktop;
. large, e.g. in printed collateral or signage;
. magazines and web sites, to distinguish the distribution
Then, constraints, e.g.:
. may be printed in monochrome
. must work on a fax machine
. mobile phone?
A logo is part of brand recognition, and for that to work, you have
to think about the brand as a whole, and how to make it distinctive:
colours, fonts, shapes, placement, the usual things...
So, what makes Magia distinct from other Linux distributions?
I used Mandrake Linux because I needed something that
. installed easily
. was suitable for both experienced programmers and people new to Linux
(regardless of whether they used other operating environments)
. was up to date with packages/software, and had a wide selection;
. was widely translated and localised
If that vision is kept up, Mageia has the potential to become a
major player.
Best,
Liam
