A couple of things to keep in mind:
I see every suggestion so far, including mine, uses letterplay, but a
logo does not *have* to do this. Note that Python's logo is not the
word "python" made out of snakes, for example. I see a lot of
ameteur-looking logos around that seem to think that forcing a letter or
word into a shape is the only way to do it. The end result is, well, it
looks forced, and that's bad. I'm not advocating discarding the "D"
route, but it's something to keep in mind. This certainly opens up
possibilities for simplicity. There are many logos out there consisting
of a simple graphic and some well-set text, and they look classy. For
example, we could run with the Mars theme, and *just* have a well-done
stylized image of Mars. Example:

I like that one.
