            <p>This draft guide is to help build consistent style for Mageia.org on the Web and in the printed world.
                It starts from the current charter of <a href="http://www.mageia.org/">www.mageia.org</a> and takes into account
                several other options that are available to this day.</p>

            <ul>
                <li><a href="#mlogo">Logo</a></li>
                <li><a href="#mcolours">Colours</a></li>

            <h2 id="mlogo">Logo</h2>
                <p>Mageia official logo is <img src="/g/media/logo/mageia-2013.png" id="abtlg" alt="Mageia logo">.</p>
                <p>Our logo still does not have a specific font - it would need to be forged.</p>
                <p>No other logo must be used for official Mageia.org communication.</p>
                <p>This logo must not be altered. We need a more comprehensive guide for it (use of cauldron alone, of "mageia" alone, availability of derivative logos and buttons for other uses).</p>
                
                <p>Logo colours/gradients:</p>
                <ul>
                    <li>white/transparent background</li>
                    <li>from <span style="background: #252D42; color: #fff; padding: 0.3em 0.6em;">&nbsp; #252D42</span> to <span style="background: #485E82; color: #fff; padding: 0.3em 0.6em;">&nbsp; #485E82</span> (letters)</li>
                    <li>from <span style="background: #2397D4; color: #fff; padding: 0.3em 0.6em;">&nbsp; #2397D4</span> to <span style="background: #65E7FF; color: #000; padding: 0.3em 0.6em;">&nbsp; #65E7FF</span> (bubbles)</li>
                </ul>

            <p>Current colours scheme is a cold one, consisting of basically three major: white, black, blue.</p>

                        <li>YUI reset-fonts-grids CSS</li>

                    </ul>
                    <p>This can be dramatically improved, splitting into several CSSes for reuse through mageia.org.</p>
