Haskell logos/New logo ideas
The great 2009 Haskell logo contest
The Haskell logo has 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.

Very quick attempt:
The main font is 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.

On behalf of the Ministry of Safety and Happiness I would like to promote the meme suggesting that Haskell is the programming language of choice for the Illuminati.

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.

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.

- Yummy. What's the font? Is it free? Porges 21:59, 15 December 2008 (UTC)
- Unfortunately, no. The font is called Officina Sans. Is that a problem? FalconNL 00:02, 16 December 2008 (GMT +1)
Simple, clean:
I really like this t-shirt logo, by the way. Gets my vote so far. — Chrisdone 00:18, 15 December 2008 (UTC)
Minor tweak to the above:
Minor modification of the t-shirt logo, the lambda was a bit skewed in my opinion:
And another modification of the same theme:

- I really like this one. A font other than Arial would be nice ;) Porges 21:25, 15 December 2008 (UTC)

Some ideas. Supposed to resemble a lambda abstraction. I realise there are no formal parameters. ---- Chrisdone 00:12, 15 December 2008 (UTC)
Here's another one; lambda is Gentium SIL, Haskell is MgOpen Cosmetica, tagline is MgOpen Canonica Italic. Porges 21:25, 15 December 2008 (UTC)
Another take. A bit simpler, more symmetrical.
The logo uses Kautiva Bold as (non-free) font.

This one is dedicated to Derek Elkins, to sooth his eyes after having them hurt on the previous logo:

- Makes sense. Comic Sans is the *Official Font of Haskell*, after all.

Logo fun using Blender:
I tried to give the lambda sign an alive feeling. --GokhanSan 12:49, 15 December 2008 (UTC)
- Middle one looks a bit too much like the ghostbusters logo :D Porges 21:25, 15 December 2008 (UTC)
Not sure about the colour. I tried to pick the purple from the current logo.
More vectorial Haskell logo concepts. Using inkscape and the popular advent font (CC at-nc-nd).

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

I'll probably regret this...
