Hey, in general I like what you are doing and I find it an improvement
on the current site.
I quickly looked at your site and I notice the ubuntu logo. I really
like their logo and what in represent (people holding hands,
community, solidaridarity). Why don't we use something similar for
inspiration for D's logo. For D we can use duality and have the two
moons of mars represent that duality. For example these are dualities
that are first class citizens in D: Functional vs OO, Stack (struct)
vs heap (class), message passing (Tid) vs shared memory (shared),
runtime polymorphism (inheritance and override) vs compile time
(template), etc.
I am currently unable to create an image for inspiration due to lack
of access to a decent computer and lack of skill creating digital
images. I'll try to play with the concept and submit some drafts.
Maybe the yin-yang symbol can be of inspiration.
Note: I have noticed that I have an attraction/affinity to circles

A second draft: http://eegg.github.com/d-brand/mockup2.png
Changes:
Swapped out logo for more conservative change.
Reduction in size of the tabs.
Search bar.
Quick-download thing. Would have to use OS/arch detection to be
effective.
Moved code down into page. Could expand.
And important point that's not evident is that I'm designing for
variable-width. That image is for 1600px width, but that could
shrink.

Overall, I'd say that I have to agree. I like the current look and
feel of d-
programming-language.org, and I don't see anything wrong with its
logo either
(and it looks _way_ better than any of the logos suggested here
IMHO). I'm
sure that the site could be improved, but the kind of stuff being
discussed in
this thread is incredibly subjective and it doesn't generally seem
like much
of an improvement. d-programming-language.org is generally a step up
from how
www.digitalmars.com looks, and the website situation has been
improving. So
truth be told, I don't understand this discussion at all. It seems
to me like
it's a bikeshedding argument on website and logo design. I'm sure
that help on
d-programming-language.org would be appreciated, but working on
redesigning
the website _again_ seems to me like a waste of time which would be
better
spent elsewhere.
I'm not sure what gave the impression that the people in this thread
want to start again from scratch, but that impression seems to be
the source of some hostility. At least in my case, that's *not*
what I'm proposing. Pretty much everything here can be categorized
as formalizing, cleaning up, or improving work that's already been
done.
