Jacob, I really like the design, but how are others supposed to 
contribute, e.g. those who come from the dmd side of things, if 
it's not in ddoc? Not everyone knows HTML. Secondly, all of the 
existing content will have to be converted. And finally, what 
will we do about PDF, epub, and LaTeX generation if everything is 
in HTML?

If you wish to go with another format like Markdown, we get to 
the problems I listed here:

But the logo is a rather small part of the overall design. Plus, 
there is the problem of brand recognition. Changing the logo is 
not a small event in the grand scheme of things.
