This is one of those that depends on the context.

Freda, The difference in the words is in common usage. Diseño is more commonly used for design. Designio obviously comes from the verb designar which is normally heard in the context to mean designate or appoint. So to answer your question, the more commonly used word is diseño. That is the difference.

Hi Sally

I think it is something a little more than this. Designio is a "plan or design" say in the construction of a new building, whilst "diseño" is the involvement of the activity of designing, say specialised objects, designer shirts, or drawings of art etc. Both words are nouns. I know what I mean but just cannot explain it any better. Let´s wait for Lazarus or someone else.

Sorry Sally
Forgot to say I may be wrong and you may be right.
