The version with the official D "D" (two moons) turned out to 
look good. If you mean with "official logo" the whole logo 
(including red background etc as on this website) that might be a 
problem design wise and I'd advise against it. (Imagine the irony 
of having a slogan that says "better by Dsign" and the design 
looks awkward :-)
