[racket-dev] new logo

I also wonder if we couldn't combine both the R and the lambda in
interesting ways.

The left part and the stem of a capital R sort of looks like a
lambda, if you squint right. Could we exploit this property
somehow?

Going from the other direction, adding a curve on a lambda letter
yields something that looks like a convincing letter R, like
this perhaps:

Or something with the parenthesis "echo" motif on the main site:

We might be able to make trivial changes to the existing logo to
bring this property out:

All just wild speculation of course.
