Fair enough.  It seems there's no source for it around (just the PNG), so
I've been vectorizing.

In the process, I thought I may as well throw my suggestion into the mix:
https://github.com/eegg/d-brand/raw/master/d-logo.png

Basically, I like the core idea of the logo at d-p-l.org.  One thing that
doesn't work so well is the shiny iconized background.  A logo should be
*simple*, and I think this just detracts from the nice central idea.  To
this end I have removed it: I think the logo itself should just be the
Mars-and-satellites detail.

The other thing that doesn't work is, and forgive my crudeness, it looks
like a lactating breast.  Once I realized this I have unfortunately been
unable to shake the image from my mind.  To this end I have introduced a
white highlight to the satellites.  (I'm still not sure this fully removes
the image.)

One side-effect of this you might like is that the crescent simultaneously
acts as "devil's horns", reminiscent of this charming little
guy<http://digitalmars.com/d/horns.gif>who seems to have been
forgotten.

Obviously, this is a prototype.  The alignment and composition could be
worked on.
