I was assuming the website would do that. I see now that in 2014 
and 2013 site the logo is appended the text in an image 
http://dconf.org/2013/images/logo.png which is great for 
reproducibility, but it does seem possible with CSS.

The logo with new the perspective (the text) looks nice. I like 
it. May I ask if there was any inspiration?

E.g I see a reference to the Interstallar movie as it was the 
best movie of 2014 for me ;)

Sorry for being an artist for a while. I prefer to be an engineer

I liked Interstellar but that happy ending was so far-fetched I 
would have preferred the film to end before it.

Many inspirations:

I find the new font as fitting as the old one.
But the PNG render is too high-res for the web.

It's not you, it's me :o).

All - contributions to the website dconf.org are gladly welcome. This is 
a place when a little work can have a big and immediate impact.

If half of the energy devoted to just bickering in this group would be 
put to good use, we could move mountains. Please, we need your work. Thanks.

It shouldn't just be similar, it should be the same one I feel.

The new logo is pretty snazzy though!

Me too. I don't think a complete re-brand of D is needed for the 
conference?

Changing the logo will mean that all sites containing this logo 
i.e. main site, wiki's, documentation, blogs, etc. will need to 
be updated too or major confusion will arise to what exactly this 
conference is about.

I have counted the PyCon websites and indeed more than half of 
them have _some_ reference to the Python logo, either in form or 
colour.

http://pyconuk.org/
http://www.pycon.kr/2014/

What I could do is add two circles like the D logo.

I think this is ok to change the DConf logo every year. Something 
recognizable, but also something that represent this specific 
DConf.
