Dead Slogan Society!

DEAD SLOGAN SOCIETY!!!
So we all have that one slogan that we wish did better. That ONE slogan that we liked, but just went in the tank... This is were we can work together, to improve that slogan, dig it out of the grave, and place it right back on the mantle where it belongs... Post these Slogans in here in bold We will work together to help edit, slightly change, and come up with a better slogan as a team.

Anyone is invited to help out with rephrasing or repairing slogans. I won't be able to do it all myself!

I like the conga line don't know why it isn't doing better. Maybe try conga lines are something everyone can get behind.

forgot about this blog!

If I was still eight years old, you'd be reading my face.

is there a way to make this better?

Krimson on Dec 24 '08 at 1:01am

Thanks ross, the first few votes on the new form is showing some good results!

Krimson on Dec 24 '08 at 1:01am

hmmmm, "If I was eight years old, I'd be this tall (line here)"

think that is much better in my opinion!

TimScribble on Dec 24 '08 at 7:56am

Hey all, I need some help on a slogan I cant quite get developed. "Being brutally honest... "

- leads to (insert injury)
- means telling you that you are ugly

I dunno, thoughts?

radiostaticstar on Dec 24 '08 at 8:10am

this is the only slogan of mine that's bit the dust that i wish had done better...

Substitutiary Locomotion is how I roll...
of 27 votes, 11% like it

the rest of my slogans are shit,
feel free to vote if you care too...

rossmat8 on Dec 24 '08 at 10:43am

Being brutally honest leads to brutal pain
Being brutally honest means never saying she doesn't look fat
Being brutally honest means telling you yes to everything you ask

Being Brutally Honest Often Involves Punching?

"being brutally honest got me arrested on assault charges"

Oh, I could use some help with this unicorn idea I'm working with, wanted to make a connect between jousting and unicorns. The current form is I use my unicorn to joust and Unicorns make great jousting steeds

Can't get the flow right.

krokun on Dec 26 '08 at 11:24pm

My vote goes to the 12 TKO ones.

I was always kind of angry by the failure of Sticks and stones may break my bones, so please stop pelting me! Its my favorite but also my worst by a large margin.

Suggestions?

yeah ummm no offense, but I subbed a sticks and stones slogan a while back that is very very similar but it doing quite well.

danaych on Dec 30 '08 at 4:18pm

damn man, i apologize for the overlap. I like the way yours sounds anyway.

I guess its back to the drawing board for me.

rossmat8 on Dec 30 '08 at 9:36pm

sticks and stones may break my bones but cliches bore me to tears

is that original enough or too close still?

CallMeSteven on Dec 30 '08 at 11:31pm

rossmat, thanks, thats really helpful, I will work off that

sorry bout that Rossmat... This blog slipped my mind. You have some great slogans... should be getting a print sometime soon, I bet.

rossmat8 on Jan 09 '09 at 4:35pm

thanks martian I tried to keep it going but noone else showed interest so I just gave up on it. I was more just putting my new slogans in here to get votes than to get help, but I'd love to hear any suggestions you have.

Bio-bot 9000 on Jan 09 '09 at 4:49pm

"All those opposed to horseback riding say neigh"

My first thought was that the horseback slogan was aimed at too narrow of an audience, i.e. horse riding people, but then I thought that since more people than not would probably be against horse riding, so it might be more popular. i dunno, there's sometimes a fine line between doing a great pun and making it appeal to a broad range of people. like, i occasionally think of obscure physics or biology puns that require some working knowledge of cells or taxonomy or whatever that i don't even bother, because only a few grad students somewhere in a lab would get it.

wow that was kind of a lot.

rossmat8 on Jan 09 '09 at 4:53pm

That slogan tanked I thought it would do better but I see what you are saying. I'm out of here until tonight going to the historic New Castle Fieldhouse.

martiandrivein on Jan 09 '09 at 4:58pm

I would make that one a bit more random, but still involving horses maybe like

All Those Opposed To Horses In The Kitchen Say "Neigh" or something like that.

The early bird gets the worm. What incentive do worms have?Death?

this one got 12%, its not even mine its my sisters and its actually witty.

I'm quite disapointed with most of my scores because some of them, if actually printed on a tee shirt would be funny for example:

Everything now half price

Cause confusion and mayhem by walking around shops and infering that theres a sale on in said shop then leave.

rossmat8 on Jan 11 '09 at 12:36am

The everything now half price has been done I believe.

As for the early bird gets the worm what if you went with: the early bird gets the worm the bigger bird gets the early bird

neither one sounds that funny to me but the voters are hard to predict.

confused3242 on Jan 11 '09 at 2:18am

I'm a master at Origami. I fold Time and Space.

now its 18% meh

rossmat8 on Jan 11 '09 at 11:32am

Had there not just been an origami shirt printed it might be doing better I would wait a few months reword that one very slightly and try it again.

toopersent on Jan 11 '09 at 11:45am

Fairy tale massages always have happy endings.

this one is a favorite of mine at it isn't doing well....

Bio-bot 9000 on Jan 11 '09 at 11:49am

stubby43 on Jan 09 '09 at 5:10pm

This is pretty funny, but it may not work as a t-shirt slogan. The way it's worded seems more like a stand-up comedy joke. maybe re-word it so it's not so "conversational".

Retroludo on Jan 11 '09 at 11:51am

confused3242- instead of origami try replacing that word with laundry, that might work better and it's still amusing.

I was thoroughly amused with myself when I though of
that's totaly [sic]
But seems like people don't like it

I love that. Brilliant! Although I don't know if the general public gets it, and that's where so many of our witty slogans fail. Not enough general appeal.
It's too bad, really.

ShawnLogan on Jan 20 '09 at 2:59pm

Patience is a virtue and only costs $9.95 if you act NOW!of 22 votes, 14% like it

I really thought this one would do better. I guess it might be too wordy, perhaps?

ShawnLogan on Jan 20 '09 at 4:05pm

Suprisingly, this one is doing quite well, percentage wise. But I wish the vote numbers were higher.

May all your shirts be full of wit and free of stains.
