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).<br>
<br>
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.<br>
<br>

I think having the separator is good (that first
planet/moon always looked<br>
like some kind of tumorous growth on D to me). However,
instead of taking a<br>
bite out of D, I think you should keep the current
design where D eclipses<br>
the first circle.<br>

Like this?<br>

Note that the z-order is actually ambiguous in the current

Yes, which I think is why I think people see breasts or

That looks better, but nitpicking here -- </blockquote>

<div>Not nitpicking at all -- I think a language that's been
perfected for a decade or so deserves to look good. Whether I
can achieve that or not.</div>

<blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0
.8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex;">can you put
the circle closer to the D? It should be eclipsed just before
the circle reaches its widest point. Your logo-3 had it
closer.</blockquote>

<div>Sure thing: <a moz-do-not-send="true"

<div>And a more radical departure: <a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="https://github.com/eegg/d-brand/raw/master/d-logo-7.png">https://github.com/eegg/d-brand/raw/master/d-logo-7.png</a> .
Again just proof-of-concept. Solves the visual stretch
required for the D-as-planet. However, perhaps the
capitalization is too firmly set in in the community.</div>

<div>And a variation: <a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="https://github.com/eegg/d-brand/raw/master/d-logo-8.png">https://github.com/eegg/d-brand/raw/master/d-logo-8.png</a> that
