I'd also be nice to have a cool logo/icon.

Sounds great, please give it a whirl.

Well, I got bored in class, so here's a sketch: http://lafalafu.com/krc/Scratch/ghc-logo-idea.png This is still based on Yitzhak's idea of incorporating the Clyde Arc. The extra bit of the lambda that extends on the left and turns into a chip is meant to look like the bridge, though I'm not sure I got the shape right. I hereby release the above-linked image into the public domain. If anyone wants to mess with it or make something prettier that's based on the same idea, feel free. If anyone likes it, I could try to turn this into something more polished. I'm not sure to what extent GHC-land is crying out for a new logo, though...

Well, that was actually just in response to the "Installation instructions: nil" comment in the OP. I'd love to use something that has no installation instructions :-) Cheers, Tim -- Tim Chevalier * http://cs.pdx.edu/~tjc * Often in error, never in doubt "I do not write about nice people.
