I don't have strong opinions. I like the logo (hey, it's my baby :), and there is some amount of "branding" attached to it. e.g. If I can trust the HCAR, it will show on the Ro/Haskell book cover (amazing :). So, I'd rather see an evolution of it than a redesign. On the other hand I can see it's lacking in terms of readability. When it comes to the website: I don't want to invest effort in it. Beside that, I'm neutral. Also, for everyone, please add your issues to the tracker! They might be forgotten otherwise. Also, please mark interest for issues by "starring" them.
