I've added them to the sequence in my directory -- start from

  http://tmp.barzilay.org/logo/whitesilver-subtle-=-ipage.html

and hit right to go in sequence.  (Also, the down key goes to the
plain original image.)

(Oh, it looks like it works even with a circle there...)

I think that it's best to keep the paren and the lambda with the same
colors, otherwise the "R"-ness is not as obvious.

I have simplified the path, so there are very few points now.  (It
also improves the result a bit, but nothing that would be visible at a
screen-logo size and below.)  It's at

  http://tmp.barzilay.org/logo/logo.svg

It's what gimp made up, which works fine in inkscape too.

[I had a fight with it for a while, trying to figure out why it was
rendering it as some weird drunk line... then I realized that there's
a difference between capitals and lower case symbols...]

The relevant parts are below, using the original names from the planet
logo since that's how I tried it.  

(BTW, it would be nice to have an option for `draw-path-commands' that
automatically fits the input into a 0,0--1,1 square, or something
similar.)
