FIRSTcast Slogan Contest

[Joe Matt]

Here at FIRSTcast, we've gotten lazy after our last episode. After the regionals we've found that paying others to do our dirty work is better. What can we say, we're sedentary.

So when it came to our new posters, we quickly threw together this poster and well, we found out we needed a slogan! Or a few.

Here's the thing. We need many slogans for a poster/flyer campagin at Champs, and we want the community's help. I'll pick 10 to be used on the posters. What will you guys get? How about the super-duper awesome FIRSTcast buttons (http://www.cafepress.com/firstcast.51718762) ! Ok, not that great? How about that you have to buy them otherwise, and so far, I, Joe Matt, am buying a 10 pack of them (or so). Sounds better, no?

Here's what we're looking for:
-Something snappy and short, no mission statements. Max 7 or so words. Remember, we want it big on the top of a piece of paper.
-It should be whitty & funny over completly serious, but still, serious can be good too.
-No bad words or slamming other FIRST/non-FIRST podcasts. Remember GP people.
-Make it something that anyone walking by will laugh at, not just those who know the inside JVN joke.

You can post more than one idea in a post, but make sure they're spaced out so I know what's what. Finally, no members of the FIRSTcast staff can post, old guests can, but we'll expect more from you guys, so we'll judge them tougher. ;)

The deadline for all this ho-ha is Sunday April 16th, 8pm EST.

PS- For examples, check out Chipotle (http://www.chipotle.com) under the "play" section to read their print ads.

Oh, finally, make sure to check out the store (http://www.cafepress.com/FIRSTcast) and the homepage (http://podcast.openfirst.org) too.

1) All the cool geeks listen to FIRSTcast...

2) If all your friends jumped off a bridge, they couldn't hear FIRSTcast.

3) FIRSTcast. More intelligible than Scandinavian Death Metal.

[Jack Jones]

FIRSTcast – we’re against jingles, but slogans are cool.

I wanted an iPod, but all I got was this FIRSTcast button.

Let he who is without robot FIRSTcast the last stone.

Don’t be the last to catch FIRSTcast.

I landed a big one on my very FIRSTcast.

If you’re not watching FIRSTcast, don’t worry, that’s normal.

Can’t sleep? Try FIRSTcast!

[Nuttyman54]

1) All the cool geeks listen to FIRSTcast...

"Cool Geeks" That's right folks, and you heard it here first!

on the topic though:

Listening to FIRSTcast gets you dates!*
*this may be a lie

[Matt Krass]

If you’re not watching FIRSTcast, don’t worry, that’s normal.

Can’t sleep? Try FIRSTcast!

Well that was mean!

;)

Good slogans people, keep em coming!

[Kevin Sevcik]

I've always been partial to:

All the cool kids watch FIRSTcast, now you can too!

[Heretic121]

I agree with Ogre.

Also:

FIRSTCast: Not your average FIRST Robotics Podcast
FIRSTcast : Not your average podcast...

i think would work better... its simple... says FIRST in it... tells you its a pod cast... but better =X


3) FIRSTcast. More intelligible than Scandinavian Death Metal.

NEVER!!! EVER EVER!!! scandinavian death metal will rule the world some day i swear!!! *second to FIRST of course... cause the robots will be playing the scandinavian death metal!!!

[Michelle Celio]

12. The Newest Addiction

*no comment =P*

13. FIRSTcast, what more could you need/want?

[Mike Schroeder]

FIRSTcast, its whats for dessert

[Michelle Celio]

Listening to FIRSTcast gets you dates!*
*this may be a lie

Maybe it's making FIRSTcast that gets you dates...worked for Adam ;)

[Chris Marra]

FIRSTCast - The Freshmaker!

FIRSTCast - The other white meat

[Matt Krass]

I vote you withhold that comment until you two actually go on a date :P
Oh and you definitely need to make it through the date first, surviving a night with Adam is worth a Regional Chairmans.

Maybe it's making FIRSTcast that gets you dates...worked for Adam ;)

[Michelle Celio]

14. FIRSTcast > Cookies

15. FIRSTcast, baby

16. FIRSTcast now with 15% less rambling Matt.

Kidding of course.

17. Hey you, come here...

[Elgin Clock]

6. FIRSTcastXcore

haha you're scene now

Oy.. michelle. That's not scene, that's sXe.. (straightedge) and/ or Hardcore.

Scene would be:

FIRSTcast.. that's hawt!

Which.. btw.. the word hawt (spelled just like that) was originally used in the 50's as an acronym for "Having A Wonderful Time". Nowadays, the darn scene kids stole it to mean a play on the word "Hot" meaning awesome/cool.

So.. in the end.. I have more useless knowledge than I know what to do with, and will come up with a wicked cool slogan for FIRSTcast when I actually think about it.

Something to grab their attention. They'll be around 30 or so posters created, so the more the better. (NOTE: the 10 slogans we choose won't be the only posters we have, a la MST3K poster.)

Also, if you would just write them down and put them in one gaint post instead of 5 or so a day, that'll make all of our lives easier.

[Michelle Celio]

Also, if you would just write them down and put them in one gaint post instead of 5 or so a day, that'll make all of our lives easier.

[Michelle Celio]

Matt! You're behind on the product placement! Stop programming and get to the drawing board, quick!
Maybe he could program FIRSTcast to be drinkable o.O

and can we get Brandon to add FIRSTcast to the spell check.. it keeps telling me I'm spelling it wrong.

[Matt Krass]

Maybe he could program FIRSTcast to be drinkable o.O

and can we get Brandon to add FIRSTcast to the spell check.. it keeps telling me I'm spelling it wrong.


class FIRSTcast
{

public:
bool drinkable = false;

FIRSTcast()
{
cout << "W00t!" << endl;
}
}

int main(}
{
FIRSTcast Show = new FIRSTcast();
Show.drinkable = true;

return 0;
}



I don't even know if that will compile, but it's worth a try?

[Michelle Celio]

And if we're not going...?

I figured it out.

I've talked to Barry (Bonzack) and he said he's willing to get it for me so if who ever is going to be like giving it out yeah talk to him or something I dunno. Just yeah Barry is going to be "representing" me. Hahaha.


Wow...that sounds really stupid.

and by the way, Thanks Barry :)

Tell him to talk to me, frankly, I'll be utterly dazed and confused about the whole thing from being up since probably midnight the day before.

Also, I haave 30 FIRSTcast buttons and 20 Matt Krass buttons, with 11 of each going to the winners, so trade early!

[Barry Bonzack]

Yay. i needed one more thing on my mind the first day of championship. Ha, joe, get with me soon (IM preferable). Finding me isn't too hard, spot the goofy looking guy in the umbrella hat. If you happen to find someone else in an umbrella hat that isn't me... ask them where I am.
