Hey guys,

I know "tagline" is a bit of a taboo word lately, because of it's association with mass media and corporate branding. However, the idea of a tagline is useful in that it helps create a memorable phrase that can be used to sum up a "product" - almost like a motto or a slogan, although those are just as . So for lack of better words, as we look to increase membership and spread our message, we are essentially trying to advertise a product.

Examples:
"Isn't it time you took a stand?"
"1984 wasn't an instruction manual"
"Be afraid. Be very afraid"
"You have the right to speak up"

If anyone is interested, please submit your ideas for a 'tagline' here.
Have fun, be creative, and be original! :)
With your permission, your tagline may be used in graphics (banners, avatars/icons, ect.).

"So good looking 40 million cameras follow me every day"

I think those two are the best, they're funny yet they make a point and catch peoples interest.

Those are good. But honestly,

Those are good. But honestly, I think the simple phrase, "We Speak For Freedom" does it all. It advertises a group, and it doesn't reveal too much so people will look us up. All they'll know is that we're for freedom, and who isn't for that?

Just my opinion, though.

Disagree, "they" see

Disagree, "they" see [TAGLINE] "We Speak For Freedom" - thus they are getting MORE information. If you leave it just as WSFF then you aren't really going to peak that much interest which is WHY we need a tagline to provoke thought. A self explanatory tagline (such as WSFF) doesn't make anyone think thus provokes NO interest.

"1984 wasn't an instruction manual" is a very good tagline, I'd put my vote there. ;)

Unfortunately, "1984 was

Unfortunately, "1984 was not..." was already a cleverly designed graphic and tagline, created by another artist:

I love the concept, however.

@ Kia: If I wasn't so

@ Kia: If I wasn't so exhausted right now I would care…as you knew.

@ Via: Damn! Any chance of repurposing through contacting original source? And I do love the concept also, very nicely done ;) Should we attempt anything like that I would suggest using Adobe's Flash CS# (2, 3, 4, or whatever is being used) so that a similar smoothness can be obtained, photoshop is to precise for this kind of an image :)
