I think there is a difference between Mageia selling DVD's, access to
dedicated download mirrors, t-shirts and coffee mugs in order to raise
some cash to support its operations and running a commercial distro that
aims to earn money by only offering the commercial deal.
It would be unwise IMHO to

I think in the grand scheme of things, we should all acknowledge that
should the name "Mageia" not work, that a name change would be a

Simple not necesarily should be poor or ugly.
Logos like Apple, Logitech, RedHat, Pepsi, eyeos, Avast, Facebook,
Joomla, Opera, even Ubuntu and the "evil" Windows are simple, but look

Please, don't shoot me for bringing the idea of renaming in discussion.
