<br class="">

Recently a sponsor asked for a logo for our project. As far as I know,<br class="">

GHC doesn't really have a consistent logo; the closest that we have had<br class="">

is the stylized "GHC" on the top of <a href="http://ghc.haskell.org/" rel="noreferrer noreferrer noreferrer" target="_blank" class="">ghc.haskell.org</a>.<br class="">

<br class="">

To accomodate the request, I took a few minutes and reworked the<br class="">

typography of the Thompson-Wheeler Haskell logo for use by GHC. I<br class="">

couldn't positively identify the typeface used for the "Haskell" text,<br class="">

but I believe that the extra-bold Cantarell face that I chose in the GHC<br class="">

variant has a similar feel to the Haskell logo and is free to use.<br class="">

<br class="">

I've posted the logo on the Wiki for future reference [1]. Feedback is<br class="">

very much welcome.<br class="">

<br class="">

Cheers,<br class="">
