There's a SVG version of the logo on the wiki: http://haskell.org/haskellwiki/Thompson-Wheeler_logo

I think the biggest problem making the batteries not look like batteries is that they don't look "round". For that we need some careful "gradenting" of them, to make the bottoms of them look shadowed.

Attached is a new version of the same idea with a slight gradient on the batteries and a slightly thicker font for the signs.

With various people's ideas taken into account, I've created a new version of my attempt:

I think the yellow/black is easily enough to highlight it as a battery, and saves adding gradients etc, that can become awkward if the logo is ever used in printing.

While I agree with you on the printing issue, I believe that we can use separate logos for web use (perhaps with gradients, depending on what others think) and another logo for printing. After all, one can argue that any colours apart from greyscale ones are non-optimal for printing as well, but that will not stop anyone from making a colourful logo. -- Deniz Dogan
