Calendly, a cloud-based platform which allows users an easy way to set up meetings without the inconvenience caused due to \u201cback-and-forth emails and phone calls,\u201d recently introduced its new logo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Designed by Pentagram (https:\/\/www.pentagram.com\/work\/calendly<\/a>), the new Calendly logo reflects \u201cits intelligent design, improved workflows and incredible ease of use.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe engaging, expressive and versatile\u201d logo features a hexagon inside the letter \u201cC.\u201d The new look is bold and simple and reflects how Calendly keeps everything neat and in order by reducing the usual difficulties associated with setting up an online meeting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cFor too long, the symbol of Calendly was a simple C, suspended in a light grey box that resembled a calendar. After eight years and hundreds of millions of scheduled meetings later, our customers have led us to what our core value is: Making it easy for our people to connect by eliminating friction in the process,\u201d said Tope Awotona, CEO and Founder, Calendly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She further added that she loved the design because it symbolized people coming together to create something unique.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Apart from the new brand mark and the new wordmark, Calendly is introducing new features for enterprise customers. The brand which is responsible for scheduling more than 15 million meetings a month also allows users to integrate with important apps like Zoom, Slack and GoToMeeting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Janine Pelosi, Zoom CMO, said, \u201cThe Calendly integration is one of our most popular because of how easy it makes scheduling millions of Zoom meetings for our customers each month.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

 Now, enterprise customers can embed both Calendly and Zoom into their customer-facing workflows to enhance their video communication experiences with greater control and security,\u201d she further added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Despite all the refreshing updates, the social media has gone completely berserk about how the new Calendly logo appears.
