Any critiques/suggestions? I'm thinking about a second version that
obviously defines the second '>' with color from the bottom-right part of the lambda.

more the rest of the symbol :)
I also like the first better. If the equals was ever so slightly wider, it would be absolutely perfect.
The first is real nice.
The [1] is really nice and I would love to see other variations with the wider equal and a bit more rounded edges as was proposed by others. Also the long bar of the lambda may be slightly rounded (as an integral sign), maybe just at the bottom part to avoid disturbing the >>. That would make the logo less military too. As an answer to the critics that referring to the monad would be elitist, I think this it is a non-issue since someone unfamiliar with Haskell would judge the logo purely on its graphical appeal. For me, the criteria of a good logo are: * Simplicity * Graphically pleasant * Do not degrade too much if printed in black and white vs. color or when resized to icon size. The fact it can be rendered in ascii-art is even better. The relation to the topic is quiet optional (hence all the "cute-animal-based" logo). It is however welcomed when it doesn't hurt the design (as in [1]). By comparison, the current logo performs very badly on all these criteria. Cheers, -Regis Saint-Paul
