Today, I want us to play with slogans. You can use them to make a statement, or just explore the meaning behind them, how they make you feel or maybe you have a creative idea for a slogan that captures who you are and just what you are selling with your life. Have at it.
Make it Now
The citi never sleeps
it‘s jazzed
and jangledbut somewhere in me
the power of dreams
screams…
get the sensation,
taste the explosion.
Isn’t life juicy,
Lucy?
Taste the rainbow
it’s zesty
and zingyfinger lickin’ good.
Fly the friendly sky
turn a blind eye
to naysayers,
complainers
Don’t be stupid,
Cupid
Make the most of now!
Slogans: Citibank, Honda, York Peppermint Patty, Pop
Rocks, Starburst, Skittles, KFC, United, Diesel Jeans, Vodafone

ReplyDeleteThat last verse is from Vodafone which I am not familiar with.
DeleteThis poem had a nice lyrical quality to it. I liked the slogans you chose too. Is Diesel Jeans' slogan really 'be stupid'?
ReplyDeleteThanks, yes, it is or was their slogan. I don't follow it so am not sure if it still is.
ReplyDeleteGreat advice!
