Not bad! I actually like this one. The only obvious object I

darken the "sky" above the Mars horizon where the D logo sits.
Not
completely black, but a much darker red that it currently is,
to provide
some visual contrast.
Like this: <http://i.imgur.com/70guZgC.png>?
Used the same color as the border, because darker than the border
looks weird, and lighter than the border isn't really dark.
It adds some depth. I wouldn't mind either way, but I'd choose
the current flat version.
Also, the same logo is used in the 'mobile' layout, but on a
horizontal stripe. There, the whole stripe is the 'sky', and I'd
like to keep the main color of the stripes the same.
And maybe fade out the red towards the bottom of the page. Just
something to soften the otherwise prominent red strip on the
left.
I think I'd prefer the plain version here too. If the red is to
flashy, maybe a slightly darker tone for the whole thing would be
better.
