Logos with Taglines
Recognizable Taglines • Apple: Think Different • Dunkin Donuts: America runs on Dunkin • General Electric: We bring good things to life • Nike: Just do it • Subway: Eat Fresh • Wheaties: The Breakfast of Champions
Definition of a Tagline • One short phrase (usually no more than 8 words) • Describes the purpose, product, service or philosophy of your company • The tone of a tagline sets the voice for your business
Definition of a Tagline • Taglines should appeal directly to the type of client/customer you are trying to attract • A Tagline is your slogan • A phrase that’s meant to be repeated over and over throughout advertising, websites, business cards, billboards, on company vehicles
Some Taglines are built into Logos BMW • You always see the tagline “The Ultimate Driving Machine” • It’s part of their corporate guidelines
Life of a Tagline • Taglines can change over time, but don’t (and shouldn’t) change frequently • Never have more than one tagline at a time • Taglines are meant to be constant, much like your logo and business name
Changing a Tagline • When a company updates their logo or brand, you will often see a change in the tagline • The life of a tagline can be years
Petco: Old and New Logo Petco CMO Elisabeth Charles: • “The update to our logo reflects the fresh, forward-looking company that Petco is today” • Our new visual identity better reflects the new Petco - healthy, active and contemporary, while retaining it’s warmth and passion for pets. • Natural and organic pet food … • Environmentally friendly products … Logo Changes: • Cat and Dog(inside lines) • Fonts • Caps / Lowercase • Tagline: “healthy”
