Slogan / tagline development

We develop a brand slogan or tagline: a short, punchy phrase that reflects the essence, is memorable and works alongside the logo. We propose variants, check for euphony and appropriateness. Honestly upfront: a slogan is creative and subjective work: an 'objectively best' one does not exist, variants and agreement are needed; it helps positioning and memorability but does NOT guarantee memorability or sales; and before use a trademark check is advisable (to avoid overlapping with someone's registered slogan) — a legal point.

Slogan / tagline development — overview

Slogan / tagline development — price, timeline & scope

Slogan/tagline development is creating a short brand phrase: researching the brand essence, positioning and audience, generating variants, selecting by criteria (punchiness, memorability, euphony, appropriateness, absence of ambiguity), checking in different languages if needed. The slogan lives alongside the logo and in communication. Honestly about subjectivity, this is key: a slogan is creative work, and a 'single correct' variant does not exist. What catches one person does not catch another; the final choice is yours after discussing variants. We propose reasoned variants for the essence and audience, but promising 'a brilliant slogan everyone will like' would be dishonest — it is the nature of creative work. Honestly about 'no result guarantee': a good slogan helps positioning and brand memorability, but by itself it does NOT guarantee it will be remembered, let alone guarantee sales. Memorability comes from the phrase's quality AND its consistent use over time; sales depend on the whole product and marketing. Honestly about legal checking, this matters: before actively using a slogan it is advisable to check whether it (or a close one) is registered as a trademark by others — to avoid legal problems. We create original variants and can advise about the need for such a check, but the trademark examination/registration itself is the work of patent attorneys, not design. Honestly about the effect: it gives a punchy, recognizable phrase for the brand, but it is a positioning element, not a success guarantee. Honestly about access: an understanding of the essence, positioning, audience is needed. An important boundary: this is a slogan; brand voice — 937; storytelling — 939; logo — 918. Picture this: instead of 'no phrase reflecting the essence' — a punchy slogan working for the brand. The base price starts from 20,000 ₽ (depends on the number of variants and languages).

Problems we solve

FAQ

  • Will you come up with a slogan everyone will like?

    'Everyone' — honestly no: a slogan is creative and subjective work, an 'objectively best' one does not exist. What catches one person does not catch another. We propose reasoned variants for the essence and audience, and the final choice is yours after discussion. Promising 'a brilliant phrase for everyone' would be dishonest — it is the nature of creativity, not uncertainty on our part.

  • Will the slogan raise sales and definitely be remembered?

    No, honestly: a good slogan helps positioning and memorability, but by itself it does not guarantee either memorability or sales. Memorability comes from the phrase's quality AND its consistent use over time; sales depend on the whole product and marketing. A slogan is an important element, not a magic result button.

  • Does a slogan need legal checking?

    It is advisable, honestly: before actively using a slogan it is worth checking whether it (or a close one) is registered as a trademark by others, to avoid legal problems. We create original variants and will advise about the need for such a check, but the trademark examination/registration itself is the work of patent attorneys, not design. We honestly separate this.
