Sure, I'm happy to convert the PSDs (available in the src/ directory, here [1]) into SVG, but I will have to do so through tracing them in InkScape unless somebody has another solution.
Many of those are on one basic template. I have no expertise to advice on the choice of greys, but I do like MetaPost. I have created a basic metapost encoding of your logo7, and placed it at <http://evenmere.org/~bts/haskell-logo/>.
Here's a traced bezier curve (inkscape) of the potrace result:

And now it is easy to play with:

Next step would be actually turn out some badges/logo/icon images to be used on haskell.org ...
Cool! Actually, Jared Updike is already working on doing that programmatically. He made an Asymptote (http://asymptote.sourceforge.net/ ) script that can also generate the different variants (lambda on top or not, etc.) which he hopes to turn into a Haskell-to-SVG+ASY program soon. Stay tuned! :) -- Regards, Eelco Lempsink
