So you want the D& M linked together but where does the o fit in and how do you link The D&M.
You cant link letters when you have a letter in the middle of them. If you link the o with either the d or M then that is putting emphasis on the O which is not really what you want I dont think. here is what I mean
As you can see that is the closest you will get to actually linking the 2 main letters and no that is not an idea just demonstrating the fault in your design idea.
Also you have not given us the full name to work with that would help.
You also fail to mention what the logo is for if it is a wallpaper great gives us plenty of options however if it needs to be the size of a thumbnail for game battles etc then we need it to be small and clear.
I suggest you set a theme and let the designers suggest the best layout for it you will get far more interest that way.
3d is great for large pictures but does not shrink down to well
