FIRSTcast Slogan Contest
 

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 ! 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 under the "play" section to read their print ads.

Oh, finally, make sure to check out the store and the homepage too.

Re: FIRSTcast Slogan Contest
 

I agree with Ogre.

Also:

FIRSTCast: Not your average FIRST Robotics Podcast

Re: FIRSTcast Slogan Contest
 

Here's what it'll look like......


and to throw this in......

Re: FIRSTcast Slogan Contest
 

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.

Re: FIRSTcast Slogan Contest
 

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!

Re: FIRSTcast Slogan Contest
 

"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

Re: FIRSTcast Slogan Contest
 

Well that was mean!

;)

Good slogans people, keep em coming!

Re: FIRSTcast Slogan Contest
 

I've always been partial to:

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

Re: FIRSTcast Slogan Contest

Oh and you definitely need to make it through the date first, surviving a night with Adam is worth a Regional Chairmans.

14. FIRSTcast > Cookies

15. FIRSTcast, baby

16. FIRSTcast now with 15% less rambling Matt.

Kidding of course.

17. Hey you, come here...

Re: FIRSTcast Slogan Contest
 

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.

Re: FIRSTcast Slogan Contest
 

FIRSTcast - it's all about you, isn't it?

FIRSTcast - the REAL deal

FIRSTcast - Get Hooked

FIRSTcast - geek world made clear

Re: FIRSTcast Slogan Contest

Re: FIRSTcast Slogan Contest
 

I must've missed my team winning it the past two years then...
I doubt that one's possible. :rolleyes:
Be careful what you wish for - we may end up having to sing that on the next episode just to discuss them.
Aye, he's not the first one to have that problem. :cool:

Re: FIRSTcast Slogan Contest
 

Danger: Contains robots under pressure. Open with caution.

45. This is meant to be an attention grabber



...expect more later =]

Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't the point of this to get peoples attention so they will read the sign? Or is it to come up with something promotional?

Re: FIRSTcast Slogan Contest
 

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.

Re: FIRSTcast Slogan Contest
 

Ok, sure. What I was doing was that I'd just keep editing the post I had before until someone posted under it. Ok, so one a day. Gotcha. ;)

Re: FIRSTcast Slogan Contest

I don't think you can drink FIRSTcast...

Re: FIRSTcast Slogan Contest
 

Matt! You're behind on the product placement! Stop programming and get to the drawing board, quick!

Re: FIRSTcast Slogan Contest
 

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.

Re: FIRSTcast Slogan Contest
 

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

Re: FIRSTcast Slogan Contest
 

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.

Re: FIRSTcast Slogan Contest
 

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.
