I believe the logo must be totally simple and remarkable, that is easy to remember and reproduce somewhere else. I think the logo should be just a letter D with some high tech font and maybe 1 or 2 vertical line(s). The logo must be visible in a very small size, must be seen nice on any background. What you guys have shown is pretty good and will be useful, but not as a logo of a new currency.
I think the updated one is excellent, personally. It fits with the standard style of crypto logos, looks clean & professional. The 1's and 0's on the left-hand logo are a bit aliased, but it's minor.
IMO creating a unique identifiable brand is more important than trying to be bright & happy & crowd-pleasing. I think the colour scheme fits.
My 2 mDRK.
Oh also: what about a standard currency symbol?
