My biggest criticism of the more recent ones is simply not to get carried away with magic haskell expressions, no matter how simple you think they are.  The job of a mascot is to make people think "aww, cute, I should clearly look into something with such a cute mascot", I suspect the response here would be more like the standard Haskell "holy crap, crazy letters and symbols, get away from me!"
