At risk of becoming the most hated man in all Haskelldom, I&#39;d like to suggest that the Haskell logo not use lambda symbols.  Or at least not as the central element.  Sorry, I know I&#39;m late to the party, but the thing is there is nothing distinctive about lambda; it&#39;s common to all FPLs.  Besides, Lisp/Scheme already have that franchise.<br>

What is distinctive about Haskell it&#39;s use of the monad.  The Pythagorean monad symbol is wonderfully simple:<br>

No, what&#39;s distinctive about Haskell is usually the abuse of the monad.<br>

Encouraging people to think Haskell is all about monadic programming even more is a recipe for disaster.<br>

Just my 2¢<br>
