Well, yeah. It's a tad monochrome. And somebody complained that it looks 
too "millitary" with all the sharp angles. But that's just it - it's 
such a simple shape that you can draw it several different ways, and 
it's still the same symbol. So you can experiment with assorted colours, 
line styles, curves, etc. But I think the *shape* itself is a good idea. ;-)

And then some other dude goes "hey, I don't think we should have a logo 
with a lambda in it, or any other syntactic elements".

Had *you* noticed the lambda in there? Did you realise that the symbol 
is based on the monadic bind operator? Or did it just look like an 
interesting shape to you?

The sixth number is six, not five.
