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.

we still need title ideas for our blogs on monday, everyone! i was just going to go with something short and simple. i'm hoping these pimp blogs will catch the attention of threadless staff, so should we put "threadless staff" somewhere in the title if we wanted to? we don't have to!
rbthatcher
rbthatcher on Feb 14 '09 at 12:13pm
Since we are each trying to get the most comments...shouldn't we try to come up with the titles on our own, so as to each have a "reel 'em in" originality...I'm almost positive that people will stop clicking on our blogs if they are all similarly titled!
davidfromdallas
   davidfromdallas on Feb 14 '09 at 12:18pm

Simpletinrobot

one pimp blog per pimper, and if you jumped the gun like someone in here did, only the comments after the 16th count.

DFD: I find the logo quite serious, actually.
krokun
krokun on Feb 14 '09 at 5:35pm
It is very official Jermaine. VERY official. And no hard feelings about the magic/science slogan, mine is far too close to the original "magic is just stuff science hasn't made boring yet" to print anyways.

And by ME, you mean ME. Which is Me - Krokun. Just to clear any misunderstandings.
Retroludo

And in my native tongue, Krokun means Retroludo. Just to clear any mistranslation.
krokun
krokun on Feb 15 '09 at 5:17pm
We are one and the same, so you should pimp both...
Retroludo
Retroludo on Feb 15 '09 at 5:26pm
Now I can totally speak in 3rd person with a reason behind it!! This explains why we both come up with magic vs science and surprise slogans. Coincidence, we think not!

I noticed a few blogs rather negative about their take on slogan blogs as well. I think againstbound had a very eloquent response in any case.

Also lol @ the slogan hate.

Belive it or not that's part of why I wanted to do this, because I think it's better that we get in the habit of pimping each other instead of ourselves. We pimp ourselves, people roll their eyes and skip it, we pimp each other and things get done.

Just my two cents on the subject.
jess4002
jess4002 on Feb 16 '09 at 10:42am
in my opinion, i would feel weird pimping my own slogans! i know i have my 365 slogan blog, but i rarely post in there except for my slogan of the day. i don't even bump my blog, haha. so, if people are wondering, no, i'm not ignoring you guys in there! ;)

also, my osc pimp blog will be up in a little bit! :)
