Kinematic models of galactic dynamo in axisymmetric disk show remarkable agreement with observations. We argue that nonlinear effects are relatively weak in galactic dynamos and consider the properties of linear dynamo models inherited by global magnetic configurations in spiral galaxies as well as nonlinear distortions of the linear solutions.
