D brand identity repository

[Chris Molozian]

I'm guessing it'll probably be too radical a change but I really like 
concept 7. The thinner lines look more passive and the bubble's make it 
look almost thoughtful (I know... I'm personifying a letter here).

Whether the community will agree on any of them... who knows... but 
personally I agree that the "shiny iconized background" around the 
existing icon could do with being removed to simplify the logo.

For inspiration,
