Sphere would be ideal candidate for a world globe.
I like the idea of of the world idea. Mageia is for everyone around the
world, and since it is a community rather than a business, it has a
bigger
interest in the needs of everyone, and not just meeting some small
niche,
but meets peoples needs on a global aspect.
Maybe the above logo can be make to look more like the earth. And
the part
that looks like a flame be make to look more like Mageia bringing
the world
together.
That could be accomplished by outlining the "flame" in dark blue or
black.
I'd rather the flame not be outlined at all but look like an actual
flame,
indistinct at the edges, rising from a crystal ball. With the stylized,
bounded flame it looks rinky dink, toylike, and sharpening the
boundedness
only exacerbates the problem. The visual elements of a logo don't *have*
to literal-mindedly combine to spell out a meaning. At least, perusing
the
submissions, I don't see anything as ugly as SUSE's (gecko?).

Of course !
A crystal ball would inspire trust in a Linux operating system.
Somehow, I'm not quite sure that most potential users would trust
"magic" for serious tools that should always work.
Did someone say "rinky dink, toylike" ?
