I am very shortly travelling abroad for several weeks and will not have
(reliable access to) a computer, but isn't this a task for one of the
haskell web-apps people (HSP, HAppS, Turbinado, etc.) to show us once and
for all why *their* library is better than the competition? :-)

Would you be willing to set up a little online voting system (or do you know of one) so we can implement this?
Assume there'll be < 10 candidates.

This suggests that the current effort to find a new logo for Haskell needs to go back to the basics. Its no good expecting consensus on one of the suggestions because there are too many options and everyone has their favourite. Nothing will attract a majority of the community.
I agree with this, which I why I would propose using Condorcet-voting. Personally I find the current logo horrendous. I think it's ugly and intimidating at the same time. I don't really care too much which one of the proposals should win, just so long as I can weed out some of the ones I really hate. Condorcet voting will pick a good compromise, where someone like me could just put all the acceptable ones at shared #1, and all the ones I dislike at #2., and someone with stronger opinions could flesh it out some more. The point being that the "least disliked" logo wins out. Maybe nobody will be happy, but hopefully most people won't be deeply unhappy with it. It would be a shame if there's lots of votes that are spread out over a large group of fairly similar logos that are good, and then a crappy one wins out with 6% of the vote because there weren't any others like it so the votes for that "style" weren't spread out over multiple entries.
