Hi Zeno!
Thus far, I admire your work highly. This is beautiful.
I do like the eraser line below the logo. I didn't get it at first. Nice touch!
Are you going to have the pencil twirl every few seconds in the cup on the site? That would be fun to see.... and then when the cup is pressed have the pencil actually come out of the cup make that erase line and go back in the cup and do a twirl till stopping? Looks like a unique opportunity to me.
Also, there is a typo in the word "below" spell check didn't catch it since there is the word "bellow."
Also, the front of the cup edge looks a tad bent rather than smooth circular... is that what you want?
Really nice stuff Zeno!
Great!
I was not referring to the overall shape of the "U". Rather, I meant the actual front edge is not smooth. It looks like it has a slight chip in it. (right in the middle a bit to the right of the gray color) Is the chip intentional?
(maybe it is just my monitor not displaying the gradient smoothness of it.)
Hey Amy,
I can't find the chip ... maybe my monitor is to blame. I also think because it's not a photoshop white background export there may be some imperfections. I was lazy and put up the pic from the website (which was created to blend in with the blue color).

the follow me on Twitter could be more prominent, didn't see it the first pass.
Hey John, Don't concentrate on the site. Right now it's a holding page. We're removing that bar in the next versions.
Thanks!
Great design and to-the-point.
The only thing I'd change is the button. Instead of using blue, I'd go for something more contrasting like orange.
Probably the highest I've ever rated thus far for a concept. =)
Hi,
Loved the logo and enough has been said about it already by others. Would love to see the pencil doing rounds in the cup.. :)
About the holding page.... Too much of a BLUE!! I mean i get it that that is your basic color but that does not require everything to be of that or similar colors. I feel for the background should go for colors which will hell people appreciate your logo. I feel white would be the best.
Check out the way the logo speaks out with a white background. (In the image with only the logo I mean)
Also, it did not seem so 3d to me, i guess you should place your curve in the right place. In the current setting it seems awkward.
With the current background color, the top bar color does not work, it should be a little bit of a contrast or darker color.
Suggestion: Try white background fading to blue at bottom maybe, i.e keep the logo in white atleast. Also change the color of topbar.
Hope this helps. Good work BTW.
checking my comment now, I realize I have used too many "that"s. Spare the grammer. ;)
I love the use of contrast in this logo and it screams easy-to-use-CMS.
Well done!
I love this colours are awesome, font is cool...
the only thing that get's to me is that the cup (being the 'u') isn't far enough forward, like the rest of the text.
Make it st in front a bit more so that it's in line with the other letters, then it will work perfectly! I also like it better on white, just jumps out at you more...
Bloody awesome design!
I do love the design and love the simplicity
Just minor mistakes like "below", and the cup rim. Sweet design.
Hey Carl,
Thanks for the feedback. The wording was corrected on the website. As I'm not a native speaker I was using it incorrectly.

I find it hard to read (especially from a distance) when the type is in blue on a blue background. Maybe make it white when it's on a blue background - that way it matches the cup also. Maybe increase the tracking on the tagline a bit for readability when it's smaller. Good job.
Everything looks great, love the colors and the pencil, maybe you could increase the size of the Twitter & Facebook icons by 3 px in height.
We think of removing that bar ... and redesigning twitter & facebook icons actually.
Your blue is perfect.
Hey Zeno,
I like the illustration on the logo, looks amazing. However the web layout bothers me with the heavy overdose of blue. I would suggest to change the background to accent the amazing logo. Plain white with small tones of eggshell should do it nicely I think. :)
Cheers, Vladimir
Hey Vladimir, Thanks for the feedback. Turns out I should have left out the site ... We really want feedback on the logo and besides Amy everybody concentrates on that page ... Editing concept now :)
WOW is the only word that gets out of my mouth & heart when I see the logo.
You logo scores 150 out of 100 (+50)
But when its put into the website its only 100 out of 100.
I guess when i see it here with white background it looks fantastic due to the contrast.
May be thats what you (& client) would like to go with.
This is certainly in my FAV list.
Hey Ananda :)
Thanks for the kind words :) We did not decide on the background yet ... and the Client are us. It's one of our pet projects.
I would keep the blue as the holding page - and then if you click through the background needs to be white for all other webpages. Easier on the eye workwise
other than this it's great work....nice colors and fonts used
Nice website! Congrats.
I just don't like one thing ... the shadow on the background.
I don't understand the dark area :)
But maybe it's me and my lack of sleep ehehe :)
Hey Pedro,
It's supposed to give it a 3dish look :) ... dunno if we succeeded.
Thanks for the feedback!
Hey Amy,
Thanks a lot for your ideas ... we didn't thought about the website that much yet ... but what you're suggesting could be very cool :). Seeing your review, we're thinking about implementing 1-2 movements on the logo :)
You're right ... that comes with non-native english speakers. Didn't notice that. Will correct it right away on the site.
It's supposed to be bent to mimic an U ... so it's intentional.
Thanks a lot :)
