D brand identity repository

[Jose Armando Garcia]

Hey, in general I like what you are doing and I find it an improvement  
on the current site.

I quickly looked at your site and I notice the ubuntu logo. I really  
like their logo and what in represent (people holding hands,  
community, solidaridarity). Why don't we use something similar for  
inspiration for D's logo. For D we can use duality and have the two  
moons of mars represent that duality. For example these are dualities  
that are first class citizens in D: Functional vs OO, Stack (struct)  
vs heap (class), message passing (Tid) vs shared memory (shared),  
runtime polymorphism (inheritance and override)  vs compile time  
(template), etc.

I am currently unable to create an image for inspiration due to lack  
of access to a decent computer and lack of skill creating digital  
images. I'll try to play with the concept and submit some drafts.  
Maybe the yin-yang symbol can be of inspiration.

Note: I have noticed that I have an attraction/affinity to circles
