A true visionary, innovator and creative. He will be missed.
“Here’s to the crazy ones, the misfits, the rebels, the troublemakers, the round pegs in the square holes … the ones who see things differently — they’re not fond of rules, and they have no respect for the status quo. … You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify them, but the only thing you can’t do is ignore them because they change things. … They push the human race forward, and while some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius, because the people who are crazy enough to think that they can change the world, are the ones who do.”
We all agree that creativity is highly valuable, but why is that we’re still resistant to creative ideas? The news site ScienceDaily explains some interesting findings.
Based on the experiments at the University of Pennsylvania:
Creative ideas are by definition novel, and novelty can trigger feelings of uncertainty that make most people uncomfortable.
People dismiss creative ideas in favor of ideas that are purely practical — tried and true.
Objective evidence shoring up the validity of a creative proposal does not motivate people to accept it.
Anti-creativity bias is so subtle that people are unaware of it, which can interfere with their ability to recognize a creative idea.
I always find it interesting when companies update and change their logos. It makes me wonder why? why now? and what does this new logo mean? In my daily routine of perusing the internet, I stumbled across an article that said Starbucks was launching a new logo to mark their 40th anniversary. I thought to myself, “Wow, that’s kind of a big deal!” Starbucks has such a strong and identifiable logo that I’m sure even three year old kids could probably point and mumble coffee when they saw it. With the new logo dropping the “Starbucks Coffee” text, it’s pretty obvious Starbucks is making its first big step to have their brand encompass more than just coffee. What though? Who knows. It could be food (which they’ve kind of toyed with the last couple of years with their breakfast, protein plates and sandwiches), coffee appliances, or heck, Starbucks energy drinks! Who knows! We’ll just have to wait and see how Starbucks evolves in the coming future.
