Google’s Think Quarterly

Think Quarterly, based in the UK,  features thought pieces from Google insiders and thought leaders on business and technology. Google describes it as a “looking glass into industry trends and insights” with a mission to engage the industry in conversation about the digital world and its future and to inspire new ways to approach business. 

As a designer, I simply call it beautiful. The first noticeable thing about Think Quarterly is how “unGooglelike” it looks, however, it its very Googleish in its innovative and experimental sensibilities. The first issue features a pop-up map spread and the second issue features a cover that comes with cling-ons so that each one is customizable. 

When the first issue was tweeted by @ThinkQuarterly it was an instant viral success, and the second issue, The Innovation Issue, was met with an equal amount of fanfare.
