I think that this will be the most popular and important post in the history of this Blog. What we want to get here is a nice and pure feedback about our design solutions.
Bellow we are presenting three logo designs for Agendy.com a new web project from Chile. They contact Cbgráfica Design Studio to make the web redesign and a new corporate identity.
Shortly, I will say that Agendy is basically a web service for online appointment scheduling and an online calendar tool with a lot more functionalities and usability. Any small business can use Agendy to make it time management a lot more efficient and fast, the service allow you to schedule a project with a client, send appointment alert via SMS and choose the best time for the meetings etc.
Taking the above ideas as a main concept we propose the following design solutions, basically we are using time and planning tools as visual hooks to make the logo an easy identification object for Agendy.
About colors, we try to establish a smooth visual relationship with clients. By using cobalt blue, red and green we try to get that atmosphere of cordiality, truth and comfort.
So that’s it, we need your opinion.

Great job! I am leaning towards solution 1 - it seems to flow a lot smoother than the others - it has a presence, and it is memorable. The colors you chose are very simple & effective.
Thanks a lot for your opinion and yes the Solution 1 is my favorite too.
No soy diseñador pero me gusta el tema y me quedo con la propuesta 1.
Mas que nada por que la propuesta 2 me da la idea de un logo de enciclopedia en vez de agenda y la tercera no parece tener un reloj cuando se ve (parece un rostro con bigotes).
Saludos
I’d prefer solution 3 because 1 is too fancy for my taste and 2 reminds me of the Google logo. Solution 3 is clear, straight, and nice to look at.
Hola Ahmed
Enhorabuena por el artÃculo y más aun por el trabajo realizado. Todas las propuestas tienen mucha calidad, la decisión prácticamente hay que basarla en temas estéticos y no de comunicación porque las tres propuestas cumplen con este segundo requisito aunque algunos más que otros.
Entre la propuesta 1 y la 3 yo me decido por la 1. En esta propuesta has logrado algo que cuesta bastante lograr. Tienes un sÃmbolo que comunica a todas luces de que trata la marca con formas simples y la vez forma parte de la marca misma, del logotipo como tal, de la palabra.
La propuesta 1 es memorable, sencilla, muy legible y tiene una integración entre sÃmbolo y nombre que roza la perfección. Yo me quedo con esa, sin duda alguna.
Muchas Gracias, es un honor que Neuseed se sume a este request, gracias por tus opinión, y si la solución 1 debe ser la elegida.
Hi Ahmed:
I prefer the first one. And I don’t know why it looks like a cat for me, that’s cute.
The second one is the one who makes a better approach to the “Agenda” concept, but the book has tabs on left instead of what everyone expected (right).
The third one is too minimalistic for me.
I prefer either 1 or 3. 2 doesn’t work because of the tabs on the left, as Odelot pointed out. Between 1 and 3, 1 seems much more young, fun, etc. while 3 seems more corporate/stodgy professional. I think which one depends on the style/feel of the organization. Hope that helps. Great work!
Personally, I prefer the first design, but minus the shadow/highlights. All three are cool designs but the first really pushes the brand out there!
I am torn between concept 1 and 3, although with a decision needed I would like to see concept 1 implemented. In my opinion, it’s very clean and gives off a much more professional finish.

1 looks playful and approachable and would be my 1st choice. However 2 is also good but looks more literary and ‘important’. 3 doesn’t hit the mark - too corporate and sinister.
I would like to see the book image from 2 with the font of 1!
I prefer solution 1 most of all, but am a little concerned it might compete / clash with Google,,, I really like solution 2 but the tabs on the little appt book around the A needs to be a tad bigger,, you don’t see them at first glance.
On second look,,, maybe put the tabs on the other side of A,,, so they are kindof leading the eye to A gendy,,, the way the eye travels
Hello, Congrats on the solutions, I think all are good concepts nicely executed.
Option 1 is my favorite, simple and with personality. The only thing that bothers me a little is that de G is in front of the A but a bit separated from the E.
Option 2 has too many details, that might lose while scaling it; and 3 seems either like a kitten or a Mr. Mustache:P
Thanks for letting us give you feedback.
Solution 1: Works. It is obvious and communicates fast. May be over-designed.
Solution 2: A Gendy is how it reads to me. I think it takes too long to “get it”.
Solution 3: I love this one. Contemporary, simple and balanced. The clock/time element, I think, could use some refining. Maybe moving the hands closer to the center point, still keeping the balance. I think it would communicate even faster.
Colors: I like the blue. Green works as “go”, but blue is more peaceful, soothing. Red screams at me too much.
my fav s no.1.
it has the identity of the brand (appointment scheduling and an online calendar tool …)
the logo s simple and we can use it any form
eg:easly can animate the needle part tic..tic…(LoL)
and n the bg of blue the red coloured logo will give alarming feel! (scheduling)
Thanks and regards

The first one! That in some sort of 3 color, or grey scale execution would be great. It will also look good very small or very large. Nice!
please please reduce the blue.
Reduce the blue? please can you explain?
Solution 1. / Less serif, or bit more roundy, forget about the shades inside the “g”. and you have simple friendly solution. ciao HAPPY DESIGNING (do not take your self to serious, is just another logo) not a break through.
Yeah, Solution 1 is the best… by far…
I like it the way it is…and in the red I think is nice, cause is like an alert, that something important is going on… Good luck!
Hi,
Well, I really liked the solution 1 , yes it suits a lot as per requirement. It gives alert kind of effect cz of ‘G’ . But I also liked fonts of Solution 3 which has some class in it. …Gud luck!
Prefiero la segunda propuesta, la presencia de una pequeña agenda llama la atencion del usuario y lo relaciona con la necesidad de administrar el tiempo de una empresa. No deja de ser cierto que puede confundirse un poco con Distribucion, venta o fabrica de agendas, pero ésto juega a favor de la empresa que desea llamar la atencion de la poblacion que adquiere estas libretas.
La del reloj despertador me sugiere un servicio de despertador digital, siempre relacionamos un reloj despertador con el despertarse por la mañana. Eso sin comentar la apariencia “Gatuna” de dicha “g” que nos produce un a mala sensacion subconciente, relacionado con la nocturnalidad o lo rapaz.
El otro concepto me da la idea de una cara o una cabeza de bigotes decendientes y afilados con un pequeño afro. Bueno la verdad tampoco me habla de la empresa y ademas; las manecillas fuera del eje de lka esfera y marcando las 8:20 contrario a 10:10 publicitario crea una tension sicologica imnecesaria.
Hola Luis,
En mi humilde opinión y dentro de la alta calidad general de las tres opciones, me quedarÃa con la tercera. Es la mas limpia, clara y recordable, se trata de hacer sencillo lo complicado, la unión entre lo que se dice y como se dice con el máximo equilibrio. Además es la única opción en la que el nombre del cliente esta escrito sin interferencia de simbologia y por tanto será sencilla de usar mas adelante, ademas dejara independencia al sÃmbolo y el cliente lo agradecerá mucho (aunque ahora no lo sepa).
La primera me gusta, pero esta “sobreactuada”, claramente se da mas importancia a como se dice que a lo que se dice y en la segunda parece usarse un icono generalista que despues se puede identificar con cualquier otro uso.
Buena Suerte !!
Me parece que la opción numero 3 es la más acertada de acuerdo a la utilidad del sitio Web… realizar agendas de trabajo, planificación de reuniones, atención a clientes, etc.
Opción limpia, clara, elegante y moderna a la vez… sin ser un mercedes benz es un Audi.
Saludos y mucho exito
Me quedo con la tercera opción. La segunda me produce una sensación extraña… ¿una agenda que se abre en sentido contrario? y que pierde las proporciones tipográficas de la A, asà como su separación de la G.
Saludos
I like the first design alot based on personality and originality. The TM is distracting though and makes the bells look too busy. I would move the tm down below the letter.
Also, I don’t like it in white. The g stands alone all by itself and the rest is tossed away. You might want to balance the color out and not use white. It works with the black though in my opinion.
The other thing is that the tail of the g is getting too much emphasis. It should be thinned and reduced in size. Its the clock that is telling the story. I hope this helps rather than confuse.
I like 1 and 3 leaning more towards #3. I think I would LOVE 3 if the clock hands were pointing towards the name… rotate the whole icon and see how that looks… That would put the flow fight from the icon to the name. #1 is good but I think the Google comment earlier is true. It will show its age quickly.
BUENO
I really like the “g” the way it is in the first one but I think a different font might work better for the rest of the letters. They seem too heavy to me. The second one is okay but less fun. I don’t like the tabs much. The third one has a nice, clean look but, initially, to me it’s not obvious that the graphic is a clock. Maybe it’s just me, but my first impression before I knew what the product was (I read your explanation above after I viewed the logos) was that it was a steering wheel or something. Maybe if it had some lines for the hours?
First one will work the best, though I think it doesnt work well in B&W. Maybe you could try a let the “g” stand out from A somehow and use a solid fill without a 3D effect for black on white, IMHO
Me quedo con la propuesta 3.
Para mi la tercera opción es la mejor. pues es sencilla, clara, moderna, aunque el reloj se siente raro al tener las manecillas hacia abajo…. se podrÃa refinar un poco, o hacer más variantes de las manecillas. Fluye mejor, incluso en las aplicaciones.
Hola
Sinceramente es la primera vez que te escribo por esta vÃa.
Coincido que las opciones sin dudas están entre la 1ra y 3ra, aunque esta última (3ra) se deberÃa refinar un poco el identificador (reloj), por lo que sin duda alguna la 1ra es la mejor a mi modesta opinión. Creo que logra comunicar de forma rápida y sencilla a simple vista de diseño de que va el sitio.
Ahora me preocupa un tanto el calendario gigantesco que pones en la posible aplicación web de todas las opciones, no se expresarlo muy bien pero me es algo chocante y molesto, creo que opaca un excelente trabajo en los demás recursos.
Saludos y Muchas Felicitaciones … muy buena propuesta.
