They don't need to stand the test of time like the D logo (which 
is a topic already discussed at length, let's not derail), so it 
was my understanding it could be a bit more "unsafe".

Marco, could you add your lib to review or do any steps that will 
help to include it's in Phobos? I think not only I interesting in 
good base JSON lib in base distribution.

Yeah, I was thinking more along the lines that; at a glance it should be
apparent that this is the same D as dlang.org, not that it should be the
exact same. There must be some awesome things that are specific to Berlin,
and possibly D in Berlin which could be used for the creative process.

There are a couple of buildings:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Architecture_in_Berlin

The primary sponsor is Sociomantic could there be some creative inspiration
there?
https://www.sociomantic.com/blog/2014/06/top-10-ways-to-make-the-most-of-summer-sociomantic-style/#.VjIVyHwrLn0

These things can be used as inspiration I don't mean to distract or detract
from your work, more like a friend of the community giving input that
no-one has given as yet.

Cheers,
-Rory

Marco's json library doesn't meet requirements for inclusion in 
Phobos and should stay separately in DUB registry.
Phobos needs much more generic library with support for streaming 
and ranges. I believe, that at the moment the best candidate is 
std.data.json by Sönke Ludwig.

I'm aware my proposal is too over-the-top, detracts from the 
point being made (what? where? when?).

It will get patched.

Looks interesting but I fail to see "DConf". The text should read
"DConf
2016/May 4-6/Berlin, Germany" -- Andrei


That would give something like:
https://github.com/p0nce/dconf.org/blob/master/2016/images/logo-sample.png



The logo looks nice, but it doesn't seem to be evocative of D. I
think there
needs to be a theme to it, like "D saves the world", "D is cool
tech", "D
makes money for business", "D is the choice of cutting edge
programmers", "D
is the latest technology", etc. Something like that.


There is a D right there in the logo.
It think I'll let others step up with other designs.


Please don't be discouraged over what I wrote. You've got talent for this.


Yes please. -- Andrei

This is not dmd's fault, but Visual D's, because it invokes link.exe 
explicitely, not through dmd. It only uses dmd if you disable "overwrite 
sc.ini" and "monitor link dependencies" in the global settings.


The next version of Visual D will support linking against VS2015 
libraries, I hope I can publish a beta in the next couple of days.

Not saying you should re-use this design, but notice how the 'DConf' logo
is the most unremarkable part of it. :-)

My 2 cents: The D Conference logo should be reminiscent of the D logo, as
should the D Foundation logo. Since the D Foundation is only just
established there is an opportunity to redesign the current logos for all
three, and in so doing also draw attention to the fact that the D
Foundation has been established.

Most, if not all the logos that have stood the test of time are simple,
clean and are easily recognizable in almost any size.
The base of the current D logo fits these specs I think.
