Re: GHC Logo

Late to the party here, but I'm wondering whether we can enlist someone with graphic design experience to create a more iconic logo for the compiler. I use the word "iconic" deliberately: it should both be recognizable, and in the shape of an icon (that is, more square). The Haskell logo does this wonderfully, but I think Ben's proposal just appends GHC to that. My own preference would be to retain a connection with the Haskell logo (as Ben's submission does), but that needn't be a hard requirement. Thanks, Richard

I def like the serif / times new Roman version

I'm not aware of a serif version and in general I would be hesitant to introduce one given that:

The one you send out renders using a serif font for GHC on my system (and, presumably, Carter's).

Indeed, sounds like a missing font. The typeface used is Cantarell, which is certainly a sans-serif face. You will find a version on the Wiki which has had the text projected to paths.

Cheers,
