I love your idea of the D-like symbol resembling Mars. It is a symbol 
with potential to be remembered forever like Apple's apple or Atari's 
fuji. It also connects D and Mars, I am myself not found of "D 
Language". I can not see D take on C as a brand, as D alone it is barely 
mimicking. And if you go and call it the D Language, well then you 
pretty much end up with "the D Language programming language", and that 
is just awkward :). I think the best name is actually "Mars D", it is 
short and memorable (good for google), no problem to still call it 
simply D if you like, it connects well with it's roots; Walter and 
Digital Mars.

I repost my own variation of the theme.

The font sucks, I liked the one you used in the first post better but do 
not know the name. I have tried to keep the colors to be discrete, and 
no gradients or anything (Works in monochrome). I think the "original" 
design should be ultra simple vector thingy (Like Apple's post -98 
apple), and then allow for customizations depending on the media (Like 
Apple using a raised metal apple-variation etc).
