Having quickly patched it together in gimp, I'm leaning on either on
the right hand side.  The G on the bottom left could be nice next to
the D in a strange perspective (eg: a 3D box).

At the same time I agree with Walter on the Moons logo.  But I'd like
to make it slightly unique.  Maybe a Gibbous Moon. :)

You could almost make out a G to fir into that...
