Company Slogans Gone Too Far

Comprox · June 2004

Now we can read company slogan whenever the company is even mentioned now, must drill their stupid catch phrases into my head!

ex. EA Games (challenge everything) made a humongous splash with Need for Speed Underground.

Dang, firefox with the settings as I have them won't let me see the ad.

...

Wait a minute, since when was that a bad thing?

Any other adverts people find really really really annoying yet vaguely catchy? (Apart from the BBC 3 one and the EA Games one)

How about "EA Sports: It's in the game."? That one is especially annoying for me.

Zig · June 2004

i.. didn't find any bad stuff..

Haha, the best company slogan by far would have to be Nintaus':

"True blue will never stain."

Buh?

it's not a game but still a company, McDonalds' "I'm Loving it"... It's annoying as well.

Compy, it'd have helped it you'd linked to the <i>first</i> page of the story, which had the phrase you were referring to <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/wink.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wink.gif' />

...not that I really mind being linked to a picture of Brooke Burke.

Oh God, I <i>hate</i> this one. It annoys me to no end! Especially since, whenever I play a game competitively with friends (Console based, usually Super Smash Bros. Melee) they start saying it as a taunt when they are ahead. It <b>kills</b> me.

Isn't a slogan sortof a quip phrase?

What precicely are we talking about here, we aren't calling the chick a "slogan" are we? She would be considered an endorsment model, something that may be somewhat new to the video game industry, but isn't by any means a new concept. Car shops and what not do it all the time, now what is the premise of NFS2 ??(*hint hint*)
