The results of the Haskell logo competition are in!
You can view them at http://www.cs.cornell.edu/w8/~andru/cgi-perl/ civs/results.pl?num_winners=1&id=E_d21b0256a4fd5ed7&algorithm=beatpath
Congratulations Jeff Wheeler!
And, also congratulations to Darrin Thompson! He's the one that originally came up with the idea: http://www.haskell.org/pipermail/haskell-cafe/2008-December/051939.html
I'll set up a page with the results visibile.
The page is at http://community.haskell.org/~eelco/results.html (I hope the community server will survive, I expect so since the images are hosted at the main Haskell server.) The next step is to decide what the next steps are ;) We could have polls all year deciding by committee on every little detail, but that will most likely not only kill all creativity, but also the willingness to vote. In my mind, the competition was mainly about deciding for a new emblem to be featured on Haskell.org and to be used on t-shirts and websites as people please. The font to be used to write 'Haskell', a slogan, etc, are probably not issues that need to be decided on and would only make the whole process a lot more complex. Given the winner, the possible variations are limited to color (oh, boy), coloring (lambda accented, bind accented or all the same) and possible font-like things such as the line shapes (much like George Pollard did with his variant, entry #50, placed 9th). My preference would be to have one person with sense of (and education in, if possible) design make some nice looking variations and have a second (final) round of voting, but, we could also do the wiki-thing again ;) -- Regards, Eelco Lempsink
