Yea, I think that one looks nice too.

But stars arn't allowed I thought and as mentioned in the
guidelines.

I don't think they're actually barred. I think a number of people just thought 
it wouldn't be a good idea if we want
to differentiate ourselves from Mandriva, which I think we do. That's why I 
wouldn't vote for that one.

My favorites are:

I don't like the other three but I like no. 3. It would look even better, in my 
opinion, if the encircling ribbon
was less visually overpowering, framing rather than dominating the central 
sphere. Also, and this is true of many
of the submissions, the lettering tries too hard to be original at the expense 
of legibility and attractiveness.
Any number of more or less standard fonts would be better. (I like Cheltenham 
myself.) It's the logo itself that
needs to stand out and be distinctive. "Mageia" isn't the logo.
