I have no idea who or where it came from, but I loved the owl from BayHac 2013. In my mind, it has always been the Haskell mascot (I was pretty new to the community in 2013).

Ooh. I'm picturing a cat with its tail wrapped around a lambda, or something like that. And Simon PJ does have a cat named Haskell who could perhaps be the model. :)

I'm oddly drawn to the idea of a turtle -- except that turtles are slow. But animals are cute. Maybe something involving a fox, given that foxes can be clever? Octopuses are also known to be very clever, but maybe GitHub has octopuses covered.

Ben, what if we have someone draw a cartoony version of your box turtle? i feel like that would be a pretty cute logo! totally ahistorical, but would certainly be cute!

Hi, 

Is it a contest for picking up a new logo?

As for me logo "λ GHC" is redundant, because H stands for Haskell and λ here means Haskell.

So logo should be GλC.

Best Regards,

Daniil.

Hi everyone,





Recently a sponsor asked for a logo for our project. As far as I know,


GHC doesn't really have a consistent logo; the closest that we have had


is the stylized "GHC" on the top of ghc.haskell.org.





To accomodate the request, I took a few minutes and reworked the


typography of the Thompson-Wheeler Haskell logo for use by GHC. I


couldn't positively identify the typeface used for the "Haskell" text,


but I believe that the extra-bold Cantarell face that I chose in the GHC


variant has a similar feel to the Haskell logo and is free to use.





I've posted the logo on the Wiki for future reference [1]. Feedback is


very much welcome.





Cheers,





- Ben
