How Lippincott the branding and strategy firm behind Coca-Cola's swirl Starbucks's logo and Samsung's global identity fuses creativity and analytics.
Written By Rick Wise | CEO Lippincott
I lead an unusual company. Lippincott, part of the highly analytical management consulting firm Oliver Wyman, is the creative force behind the ubiquitous red-and-white Coca-Cola swirl, Samsung’s global identity, the Starbucks logo, Walmart's rebranding, and the Infiniti concept, name and brand.
Design thinking, however, is a slightly murky concept that means different things to different people. (...) Here are some of the lessons I’ve learned along the way as CEO and rules we all try to adhere to at Lippincott.

An EU-funded project is building platforms to detect patterns in how people use urban spaces.
Maps don't typically convey time very well. They're static snapshots of a moment in history. A handful of animated maps that do a good job combining time and space using either transit data or geo-tagged social-media hits. Now a new project, called Geographies of Time, is trying to do something similar with a more typical two-dimensional map. The effort is part of a broader EU-funded projects called UrbanSensing that's building platforms to detect patterns in how people use urban spaces. Via Lauren Moss

Giorgia Lupi, the Ph.D. researcher at Milan Politecnico behind the project, began with Milan. Using tens of thousands of geo-tagged tweets, she and colleagues divided the map of the city into a fine-grained grid. The tweets were then divided into eight three-hour time intervals (from midnight to 3 a.m., 3 a.m. to 6 a.m., etc.). And the boxes in the grid were digitally colored based on the time window when Twitter was locally most active.

Singapore artist Keng Lye uses paint and resin to create incredibly lifelike three-dimensional representations of life under the water.
Antonios Bouris's insight:
"It looks like a fish swimming in a bowl, or a serving of living octopus in its own salt water — but the photo-realistic works of Singapore-based artist Keng Lye are not even sculptures, but paintings. He uses a technique developed by Japanese artist Riusuke Fukahori, using acrylic paint and resin to build up, layer by layer, images of creatures swimming in water."
