At risk of becoming the most hated man in all Haskelldom, I'd like to suggest that the Haskell logo not use lambda symbols. Or at least not as the central element. Sorry, I know I'm late to the party, but the thing is there is nothing distinctive about lambda; it's common to all FPLs. Besides, Lisp/Scheme already have that franchise.<br>

What is distinctive about Haskell it's use of the monad. The Pythagorean monad symbol is wonderfully simple:<br>

No, what's distinctive about Haskell is usually the abuse of the monad.<br>

Encouraging people to think Haskell is all about monadic programming even more is a recipe for disaster.<br>

Just my 2¢<br>
