Title: Bitshares needs some type of trademark slogan
Post by: r0ach on September 23, 2015, 05:09:45 am
Google has "don't be evil", which we all know is some Orwellian bs, but that's another story.

I went back to Rome for inspiration in finding one for Bitshares.  There was a saying that if you went against Rome, "it would put it's boot on your neck".  Since "kill you and take your money" is probably not a good idea for a slogan, I sought to emphasize one of the currently more underestimated features.  User issued assets will be much bigger than people expect.  For example, Individuals in stocks, such as Jim Cramer or Brian Kelly, probably do things like issue frontrunning newsletters.  They could issue a finite number of tokens via user issued assets and commoditize their newsletter to the highest bidder.  Even things like the Bilderberg group, instead of manually selecting people to join their kleptocracy, can issue tokens for the highest bidder to have a rolling, fully autonomos, aristocratic kleptocracy.  User issued assets can be used for almost anything, club membership being one of many.

Based on this, the best thing I could come up with for Bitshares is, "Bitshares:  Commoditize Everything".  If you just see the words "Bitshares" now, nobody knows what that means.  Nobody knows if it's a cryptocurrency product or some kind of Irish slang for "a bit of sharing".  Maybe a potato company that shares potatoes with you?  If you saw the words "Bitshares:  Commoditize Everything" on a card or T-shirt, you would immediately know it's a financial product.  It sounds like something you just want to toss money at with a shovel.

There are already T-shirts available at cryptofresh.com with the slogan:    "Revolution will not be centralized" on them.

This is funny, many people exclaim "Holy Crap!" after I try to explain what BitShares is attempting to do for the world  ;)

I like the commodizie everything slogan. The good about it is that you first have to think why Bitshares comoditizes everything.

Other suggestions
Bitshares: The transaction processing platform
Bitshares: comoditizing finance

 +5% We are THE revolution, cutting through the political squabble between blaming big centralized companies and blaming big centralized government. We're decentralizing the heart of all centralization and are giving power to the people through open, free for all platforms. The slogan is great because it also suggests the idea that it won't be televised, i.e. that the powers that be will ignore and oppose us.

The trouble with this slogan for now is that we're too small to be aggravating the big guys.  :-X

It is beyond difficult to capture the essence of Bitshares in a single phrase!   

The Aliens love Bitshares!
 
'The council for the federation of intelligent cosmic beings congratulates the inhabitants of Earth for taking their first steps towards survival, peace, civilization and intergalactic partnership.'

We have this discussion every six months or so on the forum. It's a good thought process. What we've found is that BitShares has so much to offer that it's difficult to encapsulate into a few simple words as a slogan or brand. But please give it your best shot!

Slogans are dependant on campaigns, and audience. I think we should come up with taglines for sure.

Revolution will not be centralized is a great one, but it needs to be something better.
