Horrid Corporate Slogan

Miscellaneous and Personal Stuff I Must Share
1

A few weeks ago I started a job at a factory. This factory makes boxes. Lots of boxes. Lots and lots of boxes. It is, in fact, a box factory.

One day whilst online and the Dope was down (I do much of my surfing between 2 AM to 4 AM) I decided I’d see if the company I was working for had a website. Behold and lo, they did.

But what was that I saw near the top of the site? Something that chilled my blood and turned my bowels to water. Something so wretchedly bad that my mind collapsed into a Zen singularity and my body responded with the mammalian diving reflex.
“We are thinking outside the box.”
Aaaaaaaaaaggggh!

Volvo. Boxy but good.

3

How about “Boxco: We are thinking about the box”

Nah, too clever for these guys I’m sure :slight_smile:

4

Okay BlackKnight, assume the paper is blank.

Come up with a superb tag line. Something that
will get a standing O from everyone here, yourself
included.

5

And it has to be “G” rated. We must assume the company can use it at its website without offending any of its customers.

6

“Got box?”

“A box by any other name would still hold as much crap.”

“If the Earth were square we’d make a box for it too.”

Okay, no I can’t come up with anything either. I’d just leave it blank.

7

Too bad; I was going to suggest: “Stuff it!” It would work especially well for companies that specialize in ballot boxes.

8

No students, we’re not going to the box factory. We’re going to the…box factory.

9

Gah, I hate that stupid catchphrase. If people really thought “outside the box,” they wouldn’t use insipid cliches.

10

“We are boxing inside the thought”

11

What do they ship them in?

12

Trucks.

13

Ah, they’re 1920’s style “Death Boxes.”

14

You can lead a horse to… box but you cannot shove him inside.

???

“But I am le tired.”

15

I’m sorry, this is more like a slogan for a diaphram manufacturer.

16

There’s a company that makes a smoking cessation product that is advertised on the radio station I listen to. Their tagline: “Over 3000 people have stopped using XYZ…”

Think about it.

17

“Gooooooo Box!!”

Hmmm…but I may just be biased, being an Ohio State fan and all…

18

The Box company, we won’t be folding anytime soon.

19

Boxing Helena since 1939!!

I don’t know if they still use this slogan, but in the mid-90’s the SouthEastern Pennsylvania Transit Authority (a commuter rail system) had the following laughable tagline:

SEPTA: It’s Better Than Driving

Other, discarded slogans included:
-SEPTA: We Suck Less Than an Indescribably Sucky Thing
-SEPTA: Doing the Bare Minimum Since 1977
-SEPTA: What Other Choice Do You Have?
