<PRE>Fellows,
work on the logo is moving further, our first alpha release is coming
soon and we will need soon a colour scheme for the project as a whole
(distribution theme, website), and for the logo declination.
So it ought to be multiple in complexity:
* because the logo will rely on two, or at most three different
colours (and depending on the context, it will use shades);
* the website may use a few more;
* distribution theme may use a few more as well.
So, defining and selecting the story behind these colours may help.
You can have a look on the last artwork meetings notes, you will get a
smell of what's brewing:

There is at least one important basic colour scheme to exclude: the
blue/orange/yellow one that is tied to Mandriva. And of course, there
are others tied somehow to other Linux projects.
Thanks a lot for your participation! and do not hesitate to share your
thoughts in and out this list!
Cheers,
Romain
