The Slogan Club Slogan Pimp competition!



We laughed, we cried and we hit the pavement to get those pretty slogans workin!

We faced some backlash, which I thought was funny because my ulterior motive with all this was to promote the idea of promoting each other instead of ourselves to help cut down on things, and it turns out many people took it as adding to the noise. Oh well, I think all in all some good slogans got some attention and we had a good time I hope.

Thank you guys for participating, and if anyone's name was dropped from the comp because they didn't link it here, if you can show me your posts I'll gladly add your score to the board!

The Results!

Ross e-mail me (ominouskevin located at gmail dot com)
so I can get working on your prize!

Things I've learned for the next Pimping Comp

1) Don't schedule a contest I need to judge for the last few weeks I have to prepare for a baby.

2) I think a select few people may be more offended by slogan pimping than actual pimping

3) RBThatcher's post shouldn't count to the score totals

4) Figure out a way to stagger the posts somehow...



The Rules:
Keep your slogan pimp hand strong!
(Thanks to jaywalkergraphics for the logo)

You know that slogan that just isn't getting the attention it deserves? That hidden gold just sitting in someone's slogan chamber? This is the time to tell the world about it!

What is it? Make a pimp blog any time after midnight on February 16th made up of two slogans you want to pimp, one of them must be from an unprinted sloganeer, and the other from anyone. You may also not pimp the same slogan someone else in the competition is pimping (You may call dibs on the slogans of choice right here on this blog any time before February 16th)

The winner is the person who gets the most comments on their pimp blog by the end of March 2nd. Your own comments don't count.

Winner gets the adoration of their fellow sloganeers and I'll also draw a picture of you as a bonus (warning: I'm not the best at drawing girls, so if you are of the female persuasion it may not be very flattering :) )

Call dibs here and then post a link to your pimp blog here after it's created.

In honor of shear irony and awkwardness I'm going to pimp jaywalkergraphic's supervision slogan which is very similar to mine just so he gives me a copy of the shirt as was our written agreement. For the second one I will take rb's amnesia slogan

Rossmat, you're a gentleman, a scholar, and ruthless businessman. Thanks, buddy! And thanks for attempting to knife him for picking me, DFD. So much love in here.

Also, I am so glad my first one isn't taken, yet:

From the Top: You may also not pimp the same slogan someone else in the competition is pimping (You may call dibbs on the slogans of choice right her on this blog any time before February 16th)


And, ice cream aside, since when has 'dibs' had two b's?
courtney pie
courtney pie on Feb 10 '09 at 11:12am
okay, found it

Supervision isn't nearly as cool as it sounds

but now that i see the jaywalker perplex i am going for this as my 2nd choice - SO close ross!

I have an open door policy. Also, I can't find my stereo. by mister jaywalkergraphics

jaywalkergraphics on Feb 10 '09 at 11:29am
Aww, sorry Ross. But we did try! Two of my friends actually redied amidst the confusion.

Also, thanks, cp! I don't know what I'm going to do if I ever get printed, but it is most def going to include a LOT of thank you's. Geez, the band will probably have to play me out, like I'm Frank Sinatra.

toopersent on Feb 10 '09 at 12:53pm
yes, I just got pimped!
krokun
krokun on Feb 10 '09 at 1:12pm
Lack of pimpage...
Simpletinrobot
Simpletinrobot on Feb 10 '09 at 1:26pm
yes after the 16th is alright, it's just going to handicap you :)

I also think we should move more towards dibs on specific slogans rather than whole people from now on, but if you just called dibs on a whole person before, you have first choice from them. Sound fair?
krokun
krokun on Feb 10 '09 at 1:27pm
Fair enough to me.
courtney pie
courtney pie on Feb 10 '09 at 2:10pm
oh okay! i read that wrong then. LOL
jaywalkergraphics
jaywalkergraphics on Feb 10 '09 at 3:22pm
I got my second one! Aside from the fact that I spat out my Funny Bunnies when I read it, the reason I want to pimp is that there are so many similar slogans out there, and I think hers is the champion:

Running with scissors isn't dangerous. Falling down is.
