A Good Slogan is Money in the Bank, by John Malmo.
Memphis, TN – There aren't very many good brand names out there, and there are very few great ones. Some adverting gurus say slogans don't mean much to customers. I think they do. A great slogan can capture top-of-mind awareness for a secondary brand in the category. Just remember, the shorter the better, and it's not great if it doesn't include your brand name.
