Good idea. Looks nice too.
Could you produce one that contains the name of the library, too, or what were you thinking there?
I would like to see DC appear in it, perhaps in the background?

The Javascript logo.
The D3.js logo
So here's the logo I'd like to propose -
If this is acceptable, I'd like to adapt the logo in any relevant formats like SVG's and multiple dimensions to suit contexts like favicon or a suitable size for the Github logo etc.
Awaiting criticism/suggestions. Thanks :)

Sure. Here's a try. How do you feel about these?
The middle one

I apologize for my poor drawing skills...
How about something inspired by the D3 logo?

Further d3ification, colorwise -
Shouldn't the logo be square?

nice
Yup. The above variations were based off the idea that this would be used in contexts like favicon's etc.
And something like this would be everywhere else -
Should I explore something where there would be just one square. Text in logos is not always the best ideas. Also I was trying to avoid too much similarity to the JS or D3 logos; but if you'd like me to explore that area I could :)
I agree about avoiding text in logos - that is the genius of the D3 logo, they turned text into something that looks more like a graph.
I think the similarity would be more like a homage. :-)
Maybe dropping the JS and sticking to the "DC" root?

Try de-emphasizing the x and y axis.

Once you have a few alternatives worked out, please share them on the mailing list for feedback/vote, since not everyone watches the repo.
So I was thinking about what @nascif said and this is one direction worth exploring.
And yellow, closer to JS
PS - @mr23 will try a variation de-emphasizing the axes.
I might have to get off the computer for the moment. Please feel free to comment here. I will work on those suggestions and once there are some alternatives ready, will start a new conversation on the Google groups mailing list. After theres some consensus, I can work on refining the chosen one :)
Looking good! :-)

fwiw i like the black but i'll go with what's popular
looks pretty good with the swooping star? :) @kadimisetty nice work!
I tried and came up with this. The above logos are brilliant.
just to clarify -- i was being silly with my suggestion. it's the logo for DC comics. I suppose there are no comic readers here, tho, so no one recognized it :)
I sure did! Holy copyright violation, Batman! :-D

I vote for this one:
I think I'll post @kadimisetty's black square, the yellow one, and @siddharthg's for a vote, unless anyone has any objections. Maybe also the rectangular one but that might be harder to use.
Where did this end up?
I plan to go with this one:
There has been no actual release but let's make it official when 2.0 goes beta soon.
Added to the repo and the main page. Also made it the favicon, since png icons seem to work with current browsers.
Any suggestions about layouts or formats welcome.
Thanks @kadimisetty!!! Nice work.
A logo is not a necessary component but it definitely contributes to dc's perceived quality and adds some flair to it's identity. I looked around the issues etc. but couldn't find any logo yet. This is my recommendation. It is based on the "unofficial" Javascript logo and reference's dc's attachment to D3.js as well.
The Javascript logo.![js](https://cloud.githubusercontent.com/assets/535947/3282319/a3eeabec-f4e6-11e3-9b0f-8aa85434c56d.jpg)

So here's the logo I'd like to propose -![dc charts - 152](https://cloud.githubusercontent.com/assets/535947/3282313/1d514748-f4e6-11e3-88aa-22aef8e7975f.png)
If this is acceptable, I'd like to adapt the logo in any relevant formats like SVG's and multiple dimensions to suitable contexts like favicons or for the Github README page etc.
Awaiting criticism/suggestions. Thanks :)
