Slogans - Make it Now

dverse prompt Here
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 jangled
but 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 zingy
finger 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

  14. This poem had a nice lyrical quality to it. I liked the slogans you chose too. Is Diesel Jeans' slogan really 'be stupid'?
