(That's avoiding the issue, since a logo is something that eventually
needs to be a distinct thing.)

That's exactly what I tried to figure out why I didn't see any obvious
lambda when looking at the r logo.  The resulting lambda (the one you
attached) is far enough from a proper one that it is not immediately
recognizable, way less when flipped and rotated.  (BTW, the first
thing that I see in the flipped+rotated image is a "τ".)

Pretty expensive, since that's when the machine is already fighting
with loading everything.  (And it will need to be a smooth
transformation to make it clear.)
