Creating company slogans is big business. Fortunes have been made merely
through the success of a great slogan. Sometimes slogans are born of a great
line in an advertisement that happens to catch the public's fancy. Remember
the Wendy's, "Where's the Beef?" instance from the 1980s? More recently, Verizon
Wireless', "Can you hear me now? Good." can be heard in hallways everywhere
as people joke about phone reception.
Here is a pretty good list that I have accumulated. Please
send me any others you would like
to have added to the list. Thanks.
Not including words such as "the" and "and," these are the 20 most frequently
used words in slogans (percentages represent the number of lines using that
word out of the total number of ad lines)
RF Cafe began life in 1996 as "RF Tools" in an AOL screen name web space totaling
2 MB. Its primary purpose was to provide me with ready access to commonly needed
formulas and reference material while performing my work as an RF system and circuit
design engineer. The World Wide Web (Internet) was largely an unknown entity at
the time and bandwidth was a scarce commodity. Dial-up modems blazed along at 14.4 kbps
while typing up your telephone line, and a nice lady's voice announced "You've Got
Mail" when a new message arrived...
