Title: Mistborn marketing slogans
Post by: Eric James Stone on July 13, 2006, 03:28:19 PM

The key to a good marketing campaign is a good advertsing slogan.  Fortunately, the Advertising Slogan Generator (http://www.thesurrealist.co.uk/slogan.cgi?word=Mistborn) is here to help:

Four out of Five Dentists Recommend Mistborn.
Yo Quiero Mistborn.
All The Mistborn That's Fit To Print.

I spent most of a day inflicting it on Shrain and Nessa

Yes, SE did. Here's a few:

And All Because The Lady Loves The E
You Can't Top The E
Obey  The E
This Is The Age Of The E
Wait Till We Get  The E On You
Nothin' Says Lovin' Like The E from the Oven
Happiness is The E-Shaped
I'm not Just The E, I'm a Member
Every Kiss Begins With The E

And a couple of dirty-sounding ones that I'm sure you won't mind me not posting. ;)

I don't think that's a real word.

Sure it is, it means "someone who really likes Captain Eo."

I'm pretty sure that doesn't describe me then.

You can't hide who you are, even with that little plexiglass shield.

That's a rearview mirror, actually.

Why would you call a mirror on your shield a rearview mirror? Unless.... hmmm, have I gotten this correct...

A rearview mirror on a shield would actually be pretty dang handy in battle.

I'll say! Here at work, some people have them mounted to their computers so nobody sneaks up on them. They look like miniature versions of those round convex mirrors that you see in convenience stores.

Wish I had one. But, hey, my boss gave me this windchime that doubles as a doorbell for my cube. It's this kitchy wooden fish with yellow-and-scarlet seaweed with the chimes underneath. Sweet.

As for slogans for Mistborn, how about
The Steel Priesthood wants YOU!

I think I need something like that at work.  I sit in one of those funky double cubes, and my computer is right at the end by the aisle.  I sometimes feel like I'm in the aisle.  Maybe a kitschy doorbell/impending intruder system would encourage people to give me a slightly wider berth as they walk by...
