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.

Woot! Woot!

(Sorry, had something caught in my throat there, at the end. I was trying to say 'thanks!'.)

This probably would have been more to the point if we all chose slogans that were below 50% and actually needed pimping...

I think I've noticed a blanket downgrading of my slogans.... a lot of them are down slightly from what I can remember, and like all at once. And the first thing that came to mind was the pimping thing backfiring on me.

Why can't people just ignore something they're not interested in? It's not like there aren't a bajillion other blogs to read, if that's what you're looking for.....

Yeah, seems like someone went through all my slogans after I went to sleep and voted all of them down a few points. Odd.

I will tabulate the scores tonight and let you know.
It is a shame we gave into the haters, perhaps this contest will return another time, a time when there is peace and joy in all the blogs and promoting another persons slogans can be accepted for what they are: a big pimpin' hand up to our fellow sloganeers!
bygrinstow
bygrinstow on Mar 03 '09 at 5:45pm
I really liked the idea and was prepared to blather on for the sake of my pimpees.... however once it looked like the haters were blanket downgrading my slogans, well, that was a buzzkill...

Still, if I'm not mistaken, my pimpees' pimped slogans were pumped up beyond their previous performance, so I'm glad for that[i]![/i]

And mine slogan that was pimped recovered it's haters' hatin' hashmarks and ended up higher than it was heretofore... Thanks, colorfool[i]![/i]

So YAY for the Big Pimpin' Project[i]![/i]

in the end, i thought it was pretty fun. we all got more votes (although yes, some percentages went up, some went down, but oh well). :D

jaywalkergraphics on Mar 04 '09 at 3:40pm
I'm sort of honored that the big blow up happened in the blog related to my slogan pimpage. :D

Yay for controversy! I think it was one of those ideas that is way cool on paper without the logistics worked out. Once it actually gets rolling, you realize all of its flaws. Meh!

Courtney and Nathan's slogans had good voting bumps, I think, so that's all that mattes to me. :)
