People tend to concentrate on the lambda which cooresponds to the functional aspect of haskell when designing logos. Not nearly enough attention is paid to the other striking feature, the laziness. The 'bottom' symbol _|_ should feature prominently. The two most defining features of haskell are that it is purely functional and _|_ inhabits every type. The combination of which is very powerful.

If you're going to draw a piece of graphics, why use ASCII workarounds like "_|_", when you can use the real thing (i.e., "⊥")?
