Understanding the commitment it takes to create a culture that cares for and maintains brand values was one of the things that Steve Jobs worked hard at. We’ll see what that hard work has done in the days ahead now that Apple has lost him.
Read More“To me, marketing is about values. This is a very complicated world, it’s a very noisy world and we’re not going to get a chance to get people to remember much about us, no company is. And so we have to be really clear on what we want them to know about us. Now Apple fortunately is one of the half a dozen best brands in the whole world, right up there with Nike, Disney, Coke, Sony… But even a great brand needs investment and caring if it’s going to retain its relevance and vitality.”
– Steve Jobs, Discussing the “Think Different” ad campaign, Sept. 30, 1997
A cohort was originally one of the ten divisions of a legion in the Roman army, containing from 300 to 600 men. The most common use of cohort today is in the sense “group” or “company”: A cohort of hangers-on followed the singer down the corridor.

The Onion.
CUPERTINO, CA—Steve Jobs, the visionary co-founder of Apple Computers and the only American in the country who had any clue what the fuck he was doing, died Wednesday at the age of 56. “We haven’t just lost a great innovator, leader, and businessman, we’ve literally lost the only person in this country who actually had his shit together and knew what the hell was going on,” a statement from President Barack Obama read in part, adding that Jobs will be remembered both for the life-changing products he created and for the fact that he was able to sit down, think clearly, and execute his ideas—attributes he shared with no other U.S. citizen. “This is a dark time for our country, because the reality is none of the 300 million or so Americans who remain can actually get anything done or make things happen. Those days are over.” Obama added that if anyone could fill the void left by Jobs it would probably be himself, but said that at this point he honestly doesn’t have the slightest notion what he’s doing anymore.

Steve Jobs hired I.M. Pei an architect to design the Next logo?
Design and business history gone crazy. Somebody got it wrong and we’re here to set the record straight. I.M. Pei is an architect and he did not design the Next logo. Geeze. It was none other than Paul Rand. You can learn a bit and fact check before you make a published graphic.
Clarity. Problem-solving. Professionalism. Beauty.
Paul Rand is design excellence.

Steve Wozniak talking about Steve Jobs.
“He thinks very much about getting technology out of the picture. From the very start until today, it’s about how you make something seem like it’s not a piece of technology in the way that you don’t have to learn all these geeky, techie steps to get something done.”
At Stellarvisions we’ve always felt the same way.
Two of our key beliefs:
technology should be transparent and intuitive and
it is essential to maintain humanity in a technological space
We hope we’re just a tiny fraction as successful as Steve in making that happen.
