View source for Haskell logos/New logo ideas

'''The great 2009 Haskell logo contest'''

The Haskell logo has [http://www.willamette.edu/~fruehr/logos/intro.html changed over time], and the current   "new" logo reflects the
advanced features of Haskell. However, it is looking rather dated, and doesn't necessarily reflect the mature Haskell we have now.

So, time to find a new logo. Something reflecting the modern emphasis of
Haskell on purity and simplicity.

Please submit logo-sized (not overly large) versions of your logo with optional text, with a preferably white background (such as for use on haskell.org).

Please submit your entries here, and attach your name to them please. To be eligible,
you will need to upload them. Entries not displayed here won't be eligible.

''The deadline for submissions is December 31, 2008, after which the top few submissions will be voted on by the community to decide  a winner!''

My attempt at a new Haskell logo:

So I guess the standalone version would then be:

Here's an attempt to depict the polish, elegance, and purity of Haskell by merging the H and lambda into an iconic gem.

All credit goes to Darrin Thompson for posting the ASCII inspiration for this to haskell-cafe. I, Jeff Wheeler, just mocked it up to look
pretty. Here are two interpretations:

A different logo idea, using toddler's letter blocks to convey the simplicity of Haskell. Exact block look and font used can be changed,
but this is the basic idea.

A different take on the lambda-in-a-circle logo that looks less like the Half Life logo. Probably fits better than the monadic sequence
operator in my other submission.

[[Image:Haskell_logo_ideas_2_falconnl.png]]

Update:
Slight change and added letters, this time in the free Fonce Sans [http://liquisoft.deviantart.com/art/Fonce-Sans-Regular-Trial-25092730]
font. I like Officina better, but if the font has to be free this is a reasonable substitute.

Very quick attempt:

[[Image:BurkeLibbey_Haskell.png]]

The main font is [http://www.josbuivenga.demon.nl/diavlo.html Diavlo] (free). The lambda is in Candara, which I believe ships with Vista
and/or XP. Not sure of the licensing there. If there's significant interest in this, I'll redo it as a vector graphic.

More of a mascotte, though she could be used in a logo as well.

This is Monica Monad, and she's a Warm Fuzzy Thing. Just giving a face to SPJ's alternative name for monads :)

Her main purpose would be to present tutorials.

[[Image:Monica_monad_falconnl.png]]

--[[User:FalconNL|FalconNL]] 00:52, 16 December 2008 (GMT +1)

----

A slightly different take on the Haskell logo, as the lambda-in-a-circle looks a bit too much like the Half Life logo for my taste. This
one references monads instead of lambda calculus. Three possible slogans, emphasizing the fun that comes from programming in Haskell.
Number 2 and 3 also reference function composition. Number 3 is my personal favourite.

[[Image:Haskell_logo_ideas_falconnl.png]]

Update: a combination of my two logos on a t-shirt. This time with function arrows to indicate the causal relationships: because Haskell is
pure, it's simple. Because it's simple, it's fun.

[[Image:HaskellLogoIdea05.gif]]

Not sure about the colour. I tried to pick the purple from the current logo. Although the lower lambda is rotated there is
[http://poinikastas.csad.ox.ac.uk/browseGlyphs.shtml historic precedence] for other forms of the letter. The lambda takes the angle from
the 'k'. Font is News Gothic. Feel free to play with the concept. [[User:Rk|Rk]] 11:13, 16 December 2008 (UTC)

Find a font where 'k' looks like a reverse lambda (after removing the "stalk"). For example:

[[Image:Kaskell.png|Kaskell]]

Note this example uses Monotype Corsiva which is not a free font. If the basic approach looks good, we can find a similar free font that
works.

The general idea is that it's just "Haskell" but with w lambda instead of the a. The font here is Myriad Pro but this would work with any
good sans-serif font. It's color-agnostic, so it can be easily printer, presented as white on black or changed to a different color.

I originally had no specific mountain in mind, but Don Stewart pointed out that this might be representative of Mt. Hood in Portland, Oregon, where Haskell was named.

Regardless, I thought a summit, bathed in the pure mountain air would be a decent symbol for Haskell, the peak of contemporary programming. :)
