TBH I didn't even know it was a horizon (or that some people see it as a horizon) until recently when somebody pointed it out. But the 2-part balance that it imparts to the current logo is quite distinctive to me, which is lacking in the above sketches. In any case, the white on red combo to me is a distinguishing characteristic of the current logo, so I have a hard time recognizing the black & white versions unless I consciously look for the D logo in them. (Then again, I'm no graphic designer, so take my opinions with a suitably-sized grain of salt. :P) T -- Computers are like a jungle: they have monitor lizards, rams, mice, c-moss, binary trees... and bugs.
