Many thanks to both you and ponce! This is great work.

I have good news and bad news. The bad news is we won't likely be able
to accept either of these proposals.

The good news is Sociomantic wants to get behind the DConf logo design,
more generally behind the dconf.org site design, and even more generally
get more involved in helping the Foundation and the language. It will
take their design team a bit longer to get things done, but they want to
do it right.

There's been considerable back and forth between Sociomantic and
ourselves before choosing this path. One concern was that corporate
intervention risks to stifle individual contributions such as Jonas' and
ponce's. We concluded that we've been roughing it long enough so a bit
of structured help is welcome.

I am very sorry your work will not be used for the conference site. My
hope is this decision will help the greater good.


Thanks,

Andrei


Well! About that: after talking things through with Sociomantic today, 
we thought it's best if we let the community design the DConf logo. 
Sociomantic's designers are quite busy through the end of the year, and 
the extant proposals aren't half bad.


Sociomantic continues to be unwavering in its support for DConf and The 
D Language Foundation. They will design the T-shirts and the welcome 
package for the conference.


So, while I'm away (I'll be traveling for most of this week), please 
let's vote on the two DConf logo proposals and choose one for 
http://dconf.org.



Thanks,

Andrei

On the face of it any publicly available information can be posted to

post news (PST mornings are better, workdays are better, and Monday is 
better).

Hey, no problem. The site wasn't quite good enough anyway and 
it's good to see Sociomantic endorsing D to that extent.

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

They don't need to stand the test of time like the D logo (which

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.

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.

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.

It is supposed to refer to the Bundestag like in

But I guess this part isn't working too well.
