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!

Rossmat8: I like the Bobsledding slogan. Maybe using Capital Letters would help the impact? Watching Bobsledding is more fun that watching Bob sledding.

I can't bring myself to delete this one:
You. Me. Pistols At Dawn.
... is it truly unworthy??

bryn.rhys on Jan 20 '09 at 5:21pm

hmmm... the Bolding went a bit nuts there.

The slogan is:
You. Me. Pistols At Dawn.

rossmat8 on Jan 20 '09 at 5:24pm

I don't know what to suggest I like it to start with. Maybe :Pistols at dawn? But noon works so much better for me.

rossmat8 on Jan 20 '09 at 5:25pm

thanks I meant to capitalize the slogan to begin with

bryn.rhys on Jan 20 '09 at 5:31pm

haha, that's also funny. i'll give it a shot (pun intended).

i'm disappointed the original hasn't done so well...

best of luck sledding Bob.

colorfool on Jan 21 '09 at 2:18am

@ShawnLogan: Yeah, maybe try a much shorter version like:
Patience is a virtue. Get it NOW!

colorfool on Jan 21 '09 at 9:23am

My super-low performer:
The early rat eats rat poison. Then it shortly envies birds.
Anybody can touch it with greatness?

rossmat8 on Jan 21 '09 at 9:25am

The early rat gets the cheese... then snapped in half

colorfool on Jan 21 '09 at 9:47am

Thanks, we'll see how it goes. I hope I don't need to specifically mention you would be in on it in the unlikely case that it should get awarded.

Mmmm... it is already kind of out of the game. Dying animals never seem to be such great slogan material...

this blog should make a comeback

colorfool on Jan 29 '09 at 1:33am

Blog, Activate!

Oh, wait, yours wasn't a slogan to be rephrased ; ) But yes, I'm with you on that.

rossmat8 on Jan 29 '09 at 7:40am

this very well may be the worst idea ever but...

should something be added to this or does it just not work at all?

colorfool on Jan 29 '09 at 8:32am

I would even leave the very well out, but... still I won't predict high ratings.
There are many slogans which would actually be quite cool in the context of being printed on a shirt but they mostly fail miserably. Your average slogan voter doesn't think about context, I guess.

martiandrivein on Jan 29 '09 at 8:36am

you guys are doing a great job! sorry I've been really busy making appearances when I can... glad to see this is still helping people.

How about this?: Pistols At Dawn. Funeral To Follow.

rossmat8 on Jan 29 '09 at 8:58am

The early rat eats rat poison. Then wonders why green pebbles?

rossmat8 on Jan 29 '09 at 8:59am

that's a suggestion for colorfool not one of my own.

ShawnLogan on Jan 29 '09 at 9:00am

Hmm, they need a thread reply option...

anyhoo. @colorfool That's a good rephrasing. I'll give it a try. Thansk!

Retroludo on Jan 29 '09 at 9:26pm

Got a new one that could use some suggestions:

I don't need glasses, my X-ray vision is XX/XX

I dunno why it's not doing better?

rossmat8 on Jan 29 '09 at 9:30pm

can't help you retroludo that's pretty good to start with

Retroludo on Jan 29 '09 at 9:36pm

Haha thanks I'll ponder the idea more, right now it's sitting at 29% but i thought it'd do way better??

BlueLobster on Jan 29 '09 at 9:38pm

The Platypus: Nature's Voltron

rossmat8 on Jan 30 '09 at 4:01pm

The Platypus: Nature's Voltron
what if you said The Platypus: nature's most powerful argument against evolution

dbrv11 on Jan 30 '09 at 6:42pm

Butterflies are free, but the upkeep on dragons is murder.

I don't know--is it the word "murder" that people don't like? Too old-fashioned a term, or something?

A couple more nobody seemed to like but me:

Space cadet (and future space fleet admiral).

Godzilla has anger management issues.

I dunno...would that look good on a tee?

dbrv11 on Jan 30 '09 at 7:56pm

bump

rossmat8 on Jan 30 '09 at 8:52pm

"Godzilla has anger management issues" You can't use copyrighted stuff in your slogans.

Bio-bot 9000 on Jan 30 '09 at 8:56pm

to be honest, i have no idea what the butterfly/dragon slogan means.

rossmat8 on Jan 30 '09 at 8:58pm

yeah me neither

Bio-bot 9000 on Jan 30 '09 at 9:00pm

As for the Platypus one: what other things are miscellaneous combinations?
Nature's Swiss Army Knife?
Nature's Grab Bag?
Nature's Trail Mix?

also, depending on the phrase or word you use, maybe "Nature's" could be replaced with "of the Animal Kingdom", or "the Natural World". A lot of times the right flow can make or break a slogan, even if it has a funny concept.

dbrv11 on Jan 30 '09 at 9:52pm

Oh, boy. Slogans should definitely be self-explanatory. I'll delete that one.

Godzilla is gone, too. I didn't realize that couldn't be used.

Thanks for the feedback!

You Want Change? Well You're Going to Have to Buy Something..

I actually disagreed with the legal terms.

God, Please Protect Me From Your Followers

I Mustered Up All of My Brainpower. Time for a Sandwich.

Don't Buy Into Advertising. Drink Irresponsibly.

Pulling Mad Shapes on the Dance Floor Since 1984

These are some of the ones I think have potential. If I had any artistic ability I would design shirts around a few of these.

The Pulling Mad shapes one could be entertaining in a design.. Work in a few dodecahedron's.. I mean, I can't dance but the guys on that Tshirt sure could.

As for the buy something one.. I remember as a kid always having to buy a five cent candy or something to get change from a convenience store to use the pay phone.. There is something in there that should work.. Needs rewording..

rossmat8 on Feb 02 '09 at 9:32pm

what if you said
I Mustered Up All of My Brainpower. Next time I'll poupon it

krokun on Feb 02 '09 at 9:43pm

What about
I Mustered Up All Of My Brainpower, But The Corral Was Too Small

jaywalkergraphics on Feb 03 '09 at 11:17am

Security informs me that there is no pizza in the delivery room. If I am shot, put on this shirt and find the President.
Cow Tipping: The real reason for the budget deficit.

I dunno, I just can't let them go.

jaywalkergraphics on Feb 03 '09 at 11:18am

Woah, try that again.

Security informs me that there is no pizza in the delivery room.

krokun on Feb 03 '09 at 1:29pm

How about

Erroneous Expense #104 : Cow Tipping

And whats the whole deal with the pres shirt?

rossmat8 on Feb 03 '09 at 2:26pm

maybe: I was kicked out of the maternity ward for delivering pizza

Also I love the if I'm shot slogan maybe get rid of put on this shirt and instead put take this shirt

ddvash on Feb 04 '09 at 2:23pm

I have success written all over me!

i thought this one would do better lol ...

check my other ones too if you dont mind...

jaywalkergraphics on Feb 04 '09 at 2:29pm

Thanks rossmat! Also, the Pres slogan is supposed to be sort of a bodyguard joke crossed with the Santa Clause concept.

krokun on Feb 04 '09 at 2:37pm

Yo Jay, how about If This Shirt Is Bloody The President Is In Danger

jaywalkergraphics on Feb 04 '09 at 2:57pm

Haha! I like where you're headed, krokun! I think your second half explains the crisis much more clearly. I would probably word the beginning a little less graphically.

If I have been shot . . .
If I am not breathing . . .
If I am alone . . .

Hmmmm . . .
