Would you like to try that?  :-)

Right, but how to do it in Inkscape?

Looks nice, but I find too close to that of Nix (and it loses some of
its original meaning [0]), and plain lower-case lambdas are too common,
I think.

Another idea might to start from the stylish gnu of Gnus [1], mirror it,
and turn its left leg into a lambda.  Something like that.

Hmmm, this needs more thought, suggestions welcome!
