^^ This. It's too "boring" and depressing with all that grayscale. Why not use the coloured version of the logo ( http://haskell.org/sitewiki/images/a/a8/Haskell-logo-60.png ) and base the colour scheme off that?

I tried to do that but I found it difficult to make it look nice (and being honest I don't like those colours). I agree though, and defer to someone with more design talent!

There was a big competition for the logo, with this blind Condorcet voting and everything, and this is the shape that was picked. But it kind of ran out of steam before colours were decided upon. So I just copied the colours from the Haskell Platform logo... -- Ashley Yakeley
