Title: Poll for the tagline!
Post by: sonicyouth on Thursday, May 12, 2005, 09:02:26
Because Asher and Janaage are cunts  :x

Okay, here's ten taglines you've submitted that have caught my eye - the main reason I've chosen these are because they're topical as well as amusing. I have a fairly good idea of what's going to win though  8)

Vote away. Poll will close on Sunday.

p.s. vote for the one you're not going to get bored of, this will probably end up being quite prominent on the final website as well as the banners etc. Don't choose something crap or I'll cry.

Winner gets a pint from next season.*

There's oil off of our coast line you english bastards steal it.  We come up with slogan, aome fucking english bastard nicks it.  When will this oppression end?

A vote for "25%/80%" is a vote for devolution, it's time to go our own way.   It's been emotional.

I've voted for magicroundabout,

The Carlsberg one - how's that for actually voting for the best one, I've got two there myself :? !

Would Carlsberg allow it should it be spotted by them?  That is my only worry.

Not sure, I suppose we'd have to look into that. It's only going to be a non-commercial fansite so I don't think it will be a big problem, unless they don't want to be affiliated with Swindon Town...

Yeah, I'd hope that would be the case SY.  Anyone work in the media department, or the law team at carlsberg?

No, I'll get me coat...

Our use of the Carlsberg name would not be viewed as a major problem by Carlsberg, however it would no doubt infringe on their copyright terms regarding the use of there name and strap line.

With these things it is always viewed as one rule for all, so whether your thetownend.com or the official website of Real Madrid you will soon be asked to remove the slogan as soon as one of there marketing admin staff do a routine search in Google. :nono

The result would probably be no more than an initial polite request to remove all references to Carlsberg, but you never know.

Sorry, I feel that I have p***ed on the firework display a little. :cry:


What happened to 'the home of Reg Smeeton'?

In terms of marketing potential with a view to increasing the awareness of thetownend.com that was the clear winner. :\/

Although as with the above you would possible infringe on the copyright terms of Reg Smeeton TM, check with his legal team. :wink:

I don't like the carlsberg one 'cos carlsberg is shite. If carlsberg made beer it would taste like piss. I'm going for 25% football 80% bollocks.

As party-pop goes I'd rather drink Carlsberg than Fosters, that's for damn sure!

Okay, the poll hasn't officially finished but it's pretty unanimous and my mate has already made a logo with the chosen tagline, so unless anyone has any serious objections I'll declare "25% football, 80% bollocks" as the winner 8)

well done jan! *cough*
