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/>. I'm not entirely thrilled with its use of explicit constants to end the equal sign or place the groin of the lambda, but this'll do for a first draft. A PDF generated from that MetaPost file is there as logo-0.pdf for easy evaluation. I experimented with the PDF-to-SVG converter at <http://www.tlhiv.org/MetaPost/tools/mptosvg/>, but do not expect anyone to be thrilled with the results who must edit them. I also experimented with potrace. The results will are wiggly. They may be inspected at .../potrace/. -Brian -- Brian T.

Here's a traced bezier curve (inkscape) of the potrace result: http://galois.com/~dons/images/logos/logo-bezier.svg And now it is easy to play with: http://galois.com/~dons/images/logos/logo-pastel.svg 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
