Hi all,
We took a fresh modern simplistic look to the idea of a new logo. Items such
as colour and font should have just as much meaning as the logo design
itself. After a short bit of research, I was informed dark red is synonymous
with a Mage(magician) in keeping with the Mageia slogan.
Every aspect of application was taken into consideration, such as logo's
banners, CD labels, t-shirts, business cards, favicons, link buttons, menu
icons and such. These needed to work in multiple resolutions (as stated in
the outlines on the website). Below is two examples of what have come to
mind. Please take time to look and give your opinion. I feel very strong that
such designs be a collaborative work of all involved. A 'one design fits all'
approach.
The colours, font, shape and proportions are not absolute and can be adjusted
accordingly.

I prefer something more abstract and evocative of magic or a mage than
a framed "m". Don't really need an "m" or any other letter at all for
the basic logo. Just my two cents.
