Thanks this gives me something to compare with - I can see pro's & con's of both versions of the D #53 is definitely smoother but #68 is more clearly defined as a D in my view.
I like the idea of this logo as something which could equally be a "street fashion" logo simply because it doesn't take itself too literally.
I think if you develop the logo in that area you won't go far wrong
Thanks Graham. That's what I'm trying to aim for with the connected letter. I believe it's more distinctive that the intertwined letters which has more of a sports team or college feel. I'll see what else I can come up with.
