D brand identity repository

[James Fisher]

My main concerns are

- genericity
- corporo-whore-ness
- (the logo is pretty much a placeholder; I'm not pushing that over any
others without approval)

Things I like:

- palette.  IMO it's clean, not too dull, and faithful to the original.
- Big Words.  I think every site should have a one-sentence introduction
(perhaps I have a short attention span).
- navigation at the top.  One reason for this is that it makes it very easy
to maintain consistency over multiple subsites (e.g. main, docs, forum,
etc): you just shove it in at the top.
