For number 3 i agree with the logo, but i absolutely don't like the font.
Those are my favorites:
http://www.flickr.com/photos/ofaurax/5127775007/in/pool-mageia-artSimple but
still modern.
http://www.flickr.com/photos/54316...@n06/5141934927/in/pool-mageia-artI like
that mix of different symbols, shows the variety of the distribution.
http://www.flickr.com/photos/54167...@n08/5038318001/in/pool-mageia-artGreat
modern looking logo, but still i am not really happy with the font.

somehow like it ;)
Kind regards,Enrico
