Hey kids!
Ever wanted to know if you could come up with the next "Just Do It" or "Where's the Beef?" Now you can see if you've got what it takes. Threadless has created a nifty little pseudo-competition that allows you to test your mettle at either wordcraft or design (just click the tab on the page to get to the slogan portion.) We've been a big fan of Threadless tees for about two years, and tend to give out the shirts to unsuspecting relatives who universally say "Umm... gee. Thanks?" (Most Threadless tees seem to be printed just to get people to ask what the shirt means.) Our recent purchase of this shirt (our first slogan-only tee - for use on casual cycling days) has made us think that just maybe we could bend our naming and tagline skills to this purpose. The challenge is on.
We're gonna try to get a shirt with one of our ideas on it printed.
Okay... this probably isn't a "we" thing. It's more a "me" thing, but I'm encouraging my compatriots here to do the same. I'll even throw down the following light-weight gauntlet: If any of my friends, clients, consultants, or fellow naming professionals gets their slogan on a shirt before I do I'll buy five of your shirts and give them to you to give your pals. (Maybe only four... I'll wear one of your shirts.) Feel free to accept in writing here - and offer up your own ante if you want to. Want to see the pitiful stuff you're up against? Check it out here... (Yeah, I know giving you incentive to vote down my ideas is probably not smart, but I'm investing in karma.) Contest ends when I get a slogan printed. I pay off the first three winners (if they beat me.) You pay off only me if I win. Ties are the same as winning... we both pay up. That's as much as I can think of right now. (If you find a loophole and exploit it I reserve the right to not award you a damn thing.) Are you game? Tate Linden Principal Consultant Stokefire Consulting Group 703-778-9925 |
