Perhaps something elaborating on the general lines of this: <http://homepage.ntlworld.com/jon.fairbairn/Haskell-H-arrow.png>? (Also .svg if anyone wants to develop it; that's a very quick sketch). It's simple, bold and forward looking ;-). It would need careful choice of colours: make the H blue and the Arrow red and it looks too British, make the H red and the arrow black, and it looks fascist (I suppose there are those who think that might be apposite). And it needs a much friendlier choice of typeface. That's a badge rather than a logo, but we certainly want one of those. Just add the "askell" part to get a logo? -- Jón Fairbairn jon.fairba...@cl.cam.ac.uk http://www.chaos.org.uk/~jf/Stuff-I-dont-want.html (updated 2008-04-26) _______________________________________________ Haskell-Cafe mailing list Haskell-Cafe@haskell.org http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/haskell-cafe
