In Search of a Slogan!
Written by Rod Barker on April 2nd, 2010What do “We Bring Good Things To Life,” “Think Different” and “Don’t Leave Home Without It” have in common? They are slogans coined by major corporations (General Electric, Apple and American Express) that are central to their marketing and promotions. Using as few words as possible, they try to sum up or express the spirit or aim of the company and their products. They strive to be memorable, indeed unforgettable. They tell a story, leave a lasting impression.
At various times, we at The Trail of Painted Ponies have used different slogans. On one of our early brochures we adopted the phrase “Branding Horses with Art.” On our Paint Your Own Pony kits we encourage people to “Let Your Imagination Run Wild.” On the cover of our Anniversary Edition book you will find “From Fine Art to Collectibles.” Perhaps the most succinct description of who we are and what we do is captured in the term “Pony Expressionism.”
As we enter our 10th year, I thought it would be interesting and fun to invite you, the fans and friends of The Trail, to come up with a clever saying, combination of catchwords, motto or credo, that you believe fits our company, and our products. Feel free to think in terms of rhymes. (“It Takes A Licking And Keeps on Ticking) Be politically incorrect if you want. (Save the whales… Collect a whole set) Motivate. (Just do it!) Think outside the box (Think outside the box!).
But if you want to win a prize, in this case your choice of one of the new Summer 2010 figurines, edition number under 100, autographed by the artist, come up with something that is so unique, so inspiring, such a rallying cry for The Trail of Painted Ponies, that we will want to use it as our slogan going forward.
This competition will run through the month of April. To submit a slogan simply post it as a response to this blog. More than one entry is acceptable. Our personal favorite, along with a profile of the author, will appear in the May blog.
