what about such a variation? something between an ouroborob, a lambda

By the way: I mixed up something: My note, that the orouboros was used
as a logo for Heinz von Försters second order cybernetics, was not
correct. The correct note should have been: Heinz von Förster, the
All of these get one thing right that the current and most of the proposed
Haskell logos do not: they don't make any reference to the syntax of the

to appeal visually, rather than semantically. So I'd like to see some

The snake pair is visually interesting while still remaining simple.
The typeface is unusual and yet clean and humanistic. The logo is only
slightly marred by the TM. Overall, elegant

So I agree with Ashley insofar as, there is no *need* for the logo to

On the other hand, I think it's not necessarily a bad thing either, as
long as it works with (1) and (2) above.
I agree with this,

The ouroboros was used as a logo of the second order cybernetics by
