Love it!
Minuscule & insignificant nitpick: If the 2nd letter is tilted the same way as in another logo (that by some strange and unexplainable coincidence slightly resembles this one), it actually reads DCLL.

It seems to me that it was intentional, given that I read it as an abbreviation with the first two letters standing for "Docking Computers".
Can't remember what I thought the other two letters stood for, though.

It's interesting how different people perceive things...I immediately saw it as DULL, but maybe that's just me

If you can improve on it DH, please do.
Hasn't been done before - and "Acroorist" clearly need a rival - it's been a long time coming.

@CheeseRedux, Nemoricus and Smivs
All interpretations are intentional!
My original version didn't mention docking computers - but when I went to make a drink and came back I realised that it could be seen as a C as well as a U, so I added Docking Computers to the tag line and now I hope, it works either/both ways!

Now that's just downright clever.

I wanted to do this for a while but I lacked the skill with their old logo.
Possibly a new store logo for Set H of the Constores?

HI Fatleaf - YAH ads need to be 256x128 png format.
Nice idea - I'd start with a much higher resolution initial image - and scale down the two Oo's (one less than the other) rather than trying to scale up from small to large. Looking forward to seeing the finished article!

I like it!
Is the "i" supposed to be missing its dot, though?

Yes, in the sense that I made the i from the original r and the e from the original o, and attempts to add the dot just didn't work!

Fair enough – there are plenty of trendy designers out there who would leave a dot off an i for worse reasons than that ...

I was thinking, perhaps, Festoors?

Just post it (256x128 png format) here... DH will grab it.
