nice. the first is better. in the second, i don't even see the lambda.

Thanks the feedback. I just uploaded a new version [1] that is icon-sized, although the font used is Helvetica Neue, which is non-free. I have no free fonts on my Mac, unfortunately, so it'll stay for the moment.

Another thought would be to have the lower *left* leg of the lambda set off by a different color. Hence something like >,\= Done properly I could see it making the lambda vs. monad alternation more natural. Another suggestion is that the lambda highlighted version (logo1.png) seems a bit top-heavy for the lambda. Moving the centerline up a bit in order to widen the base of the lambda should help that, as well as reducing the militaristic aspect. Of all the versions I've seen, I'd really like some incarnation of this idea to be the new logo. The >\=Haskell one works really well for the named-logo effect, and the simplicity of the five strokes really lets the logo stand on its own as well. It's been a long time since I've done graphic design, so all my tools have rusted. But I could see if some old friends would be interested in taking a whack at it. -- Live well, ~wren
