Probably badly.  Personally I think there's a line to tread between "fun"
and "serious", and the combination of that logo and font hurdles over that
line into "wacky".

Sure thing, I'll try that.  Feels like there should be something filling
that space though.

Perhaps a prominent "download" option, though I'm not really convinced by
those: newbies won't be convinced to download straight away, and oldies
won't be coming back to the site to download the compiler every five
minutes, so I'm not sure who they cater to.

I'll try one with that logo.  As for the actual text, I'm wondering whether
it actually needs to be there at all.  The fact that D is a programming
language is made amply clear by context: code samples, massive text "D is a
programming language ..." (!) on the front page, and every other page on the
site will make that clear too.
