I've been attempting to create an identity for myself for sometime. Sketchbook pages are full, backs of business cards doodled upon, and napkins tarnished. Regardless of what I sketch I continue to come to the same conclusion.
Two circles representing my two passions: Design and Software Engineering, with myself overlapping a little of each.
I personally don't feel this brand is as strong as it can be, but am stuck on where to take it from here. As always, feedback, criticisms, comments, suggestions are welcome.

Like the concept, makes sense.
Could maybe try the two circles solid colours, lighter opacity and the 'd' knocked out in the middle of the two?

Hey man - really like your work. I like the concept behind this, but to be completely honest the first thing I saw was a pumpkin. I wonder if you can use the circle of the "d" as a starting point for something reinforcing the overlapping circles idea?

@Matt — I'll see what I can do with inverting the letter and playing with stacking the circles.
@Nathaniel — pumpkins are not the wanted response ;) I'll see what I can do to make it less, gourd-like

I feel your pain. Designing a personal brand is a minefield of indecisiveness. =)
I love the simplicity. Maybe you can play with bringing the circles closer together or perhaps a circle within a circle.
I think you're close.

Applied the comments and suggestions from the last branding attempt. Circles are closer together in hopes to make it look less like a pumpkin, and intertwined the two circles together to further strengthen the concept of design + engineering.
I'm looking forward to critiques and feedback.
Appreciate it!

@Matt D. Smith — Personal design has to be one of the hardest challenges. I always put attempts through the "do I hate it the next morning" test. Thanks for the feedback and suggestions on circle within a circle.

I still prefer the previous version with the colors and opacity overlap.
