Here's the deal, though. This one, even just the "lambda r." in a circle, is pushing complexity. We've been approaching logo design too much like language design, trying to cram as much semantic content as possible into a small space or into the fewest shapes. A logo exists primarily to make a good impression on outsiders. Filling it with too much meaning works actively against this.

I do actually like the combination of lambda and r, though I am sure the color scheme could benefit from some variation.

Doesn't it just! Another thing that occurred to me, on the same model as before, is to go for an almost completely typographical logo. At<http://nxg.me.uk/temp/lambda-r5.pdf> is a possibility. It's just '\r.', really, but with the lambda in a cursive font, the 'r.' in a modern one (Gill Sans), and some pretty aggressive tracking to make it into a unit. That doesn't have the shinies of other suggestions, but it's obviously very adaptable and (to my aesthetic at least) matches the chiselled restraint of a Scheme. I think that's exhausted my visual creativity for the day, so I'll shut up now....
