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.

Yeah, that looks pretty damn good.

I think simplicity works better for a logo, moving any small details into the background.  Using this kind of tactic I think works well - for instance, a lot of people still wear their DConf 2012 shirts on a weekly basis.

No worries, I'll get back to it :) geod24 on IRC had an interesting idea.

What do these shirts look like?

Had to do some digging up of old archives to find this.

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.
