Also made the logo white (#fff); it was almost white before (#eeeeec).
And smoothed out two rough edges in the D shape. Shoutout to WebFreak001
for spotting that.

And in a narrower window, when the logo is pushed to the window border:

Before/after shots of the D shape fixes (magnified a lot):

Outside, bottom left: diff-a-before diff-a-after
Inside, top right: diff-b-before diff-b-after

LGTM

As Walter himself commented on the thread and didn't veto, I guess it's okay with him. But I'm still going to wait a bit to let others comment.

Ola Fosheim Grøstad has pointed out in the forum that there may be copyright problem with the new logo variant.

I've tried contacting the original author via email, but he hasn't responded yet. Maybe I've got the wrong address, or the mail got spam filtered. It's been a week, so I'm trying to page him here on GitHub now. I've also tried leaving a comment on his site, but apparently I need an account to comment, and there's no way to make an account.

@FunkyM: Would you be willing to re-publish the D logos you made 10 years ago (d-5.svg in particular) under some widespread license that explicitly allows derivative works, like some Creative Commons license? I'd interpret the text on your site to allow derivative works, but having it spelled out explicitly would give us more legal security. Or, if you're against making derivatives of your works, please say so.
