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.

rbthatcher
rbthatcher on Feb 10 '09 at 4:44pm
...I just realized that I owe some HUGE THANKS to misakaji!!! Has anyone looked at their slogans? "Vampires are just zombies with pretty skin." is STILL AVAILABLE???
krokun
krokun on Feb 10 '09 at 5:07pm
I may have to choose another slogan than Bio's dinosaur one, just to get in the spirit a bit more. I still want that one to print though...
courtney pie
courtney pie on Feb 10 '09 at 6:12pm
that's the point tho Krok! and SO many others want it, if you pimp, we support you by throwing $1s your way!
krokun
krokun on Feb 10 '09 at 6:18pm
I sure could use the $1. But notes only, the coins dont fit so well when I'm dancing...

juliejeremiah
juliejeremiah on Feb 10 '09 at 6:42pm
This is a good idea....I'll do some digging around to find a slogan that really tickles me.
jess4002

yay, juliejeremiah! :D
krokun
krokun on Feb 12 '09 at 2:06am
Moar Pimpage!

(pickmepickme)
bygrinstow
bygrinstow on Feb 12 '09 at 2:42am
I'd just like to point out no one has chosen any of my slogans, and 'hypothetical' is pushing near to 60% as is....

It'd make a young impoverished boy's dream come true to be chosen...!

Also, I wouldn't mind if you chose me....


(Krokun still counts as 'young', right?)
colorfool
colorfool on Feb 12 '09 at 3:00am
I just voted on your solo, it's simple but good. It works well in the context of being printed on a shirt. Since you're already pimpin' me it would feel very pimpy if I pimped you back. Mmmm... sounds fine to me. I hereby call hypothetical dibs on it.
bygrinstow
bygrinstow on Feb 12 '09 at 10:43am
hehe ...Thanks, c'f!

May I call you c'f? Are we on a first name basis now, color? Or should we stay more formal, Mr. fool?
bygrinstow
bygrinstow on Feb 12 '09 at 3:09pm
ooo btw
I should reassure my dibbsies (dibbettes?) that I will be away from the internet probably most of Monday, but that I will get that blog going when I'm back....
krokun
krokun on Feb 12 '09 at 6:08pm
I light of Bios print I guess I now have to choose another one.

I would love to pimp this one: (on back) I am ahead of you in the Human Race.

That is if JayWalker is okay with sharing Rb...
jaywalkergraphics
jaywalkergraphics on Feb 12 '09 at 6:21pm
Methinks you can only call dibsees on a slogan, and not an entire slowperson. That would be like slavery or something.

Also, I didn't get RB . . . not that he's not worthy!
krokun
krokun on Feb 12 '09 at 6:23pm
Whoopsies, That was supposed to be Ross...my badders
jess4002
jess4002 on Feb 12 '09 at 8:56pm

jess4002
jess4002 on Feb 13 '09 at 1:48pm
let's talk about the title of our blogs! on monday, should the titles all be the same? should the titles all be unique? should the titles involve something to catch the threadless staff's attention?

Retroludo
Retroludo on Feb 13 '09 at 9:42pm
I see how it is.
Retroludo
Retroludo on Feb 13 '09 at 9:44pm
Hey toopersent I'll pimp out my fave of yours:

If you cant beat 'em, use cheat codes.

I think that could be an amazing type job with a computer fonts kind of deal.
krokun
krokun on Feb 13 '09 at 10:16pm
Sweeet! I GOT PIMPED / AM GOING TO BE PIMPED!

I so happy!
jess4002
jess4002 on Feb 13 '09 at 10:22pm
erin, andrew (lunchboxbrain) already called dibs on toopersent's cheat codes slogan!
jaywalkergraphics
jaywalkergraphics on Feb 13 '09 at 10:28pm
If I had just a little more pimp juice, I would pimp this:

Hard work has killed plenty of people.

That thing is a work of art.
Retroludo
Retroludo on Feb 13 '09 at 10:29pm
Hehehe oops

*searches for a new one*

brentendo might wanna change his krokun slogan after Retro's awesome science/magic slogan being printedon Monday!!!!!

Also, weep weep, where's the love for lil ol me? First Threadless doesn't recognize me, now you guys! Well, except for the nine shirt prints and a poster print. But that's it!!!!
krokun
krokun on Feb 13 '09 at 11:51pm

I've Just Developed A Theory Which Proves I'm Not A Nerd. -FA


Davids got you FA.

Oh and Jay, thanks for the mini pimpage! Yet another science / magic slogan killing my chances. Goddam.
FRICKINAWESOME
   FRICKINAWESOME on Feb 14 '09 at 12:01am
Aw. That guy's the tits.

And it sucks/is awesome about retroludo having a science/magic slogan when you have a very awesome one yourself.
krokun
krokun on Feb 14 '09 at 12:06am
I know. Its my second highest scorer after career plans too...FAIL!
Retroludo
Retroludo on Feb 14 '09 at 8:59am
Is there any chance of them printing more than one magic/science slogan since krok's is fantastic and it's a cool theme?
jaywalkergraphics
jaywalkergraphics on Feb 14 '09 at 9:09am
Jesse, "Hard Work" has got to print. And a few others. But I gotta say, if it's one or the other, I think the best slogan won with Retro's "Magic".

*Runs away, ducking tomatoes and spears*

BUT I LOVE YOU, MAN!
