Between love and madness lies Sado
A new slogan is needed for the next Sado tourist map and I have taken a spare moment to think about this.
Above is last year's map with 'More Fun! More Japan! More Sado Island! Sado Island 2006', which was probably inspired by Billy Idle.
As you may expect, I have spent more time trying to think up daft slogans, though my best serious effort is:
Main banner headline: Make the most of Sado!
at the bottom in a small font: with the indispensable
and just below again in not so small a font: 2007 Sado Island guide
map and event calender
Maybe 'free' should be in there somewhere too. Nothing to give Saatchi and Saatchi anything to worry about. Thought I better offer something up before the daft onslaught.
Cheap, nonchalant, promiscuous, attention grabbing and potentially intriguing slogans:
- Get laid on Sado, if you like.
- One large rock turtle or two? (Insider knowledge of Sado required)
- Need a new pair of nuggets? Come to Sado. (This one should be
accompanied by a picture of the gold mine)
- Sadomites open their doors, arms... anything for you!
Rhyming with Sado stuff:
- Don't like crack ho's, bro come to Sado.
- Oki, doki, lets eat toki! (The real story of how the toki became extinct)
- Rub a dub dub, three men in a tub, boat.
- Run over a tanuki, then booze it up like Bobby D.
- Do you have a shadow, hell, then come to Sado! Otherwise clear off, you blood sucking parasite, we don't need vampires and ALTs, and another thing...
Playing on the exile theme:
- Need a place to hide? Sado's your island.
The unimaginative:
- Sado is an island.
- Sado is almost an anagram of adios, you know.
Appealing to the youngsters:
- Hello, it's, like, Sado.
- MC Hummer likes Sado, OK dudes!
Pinched and rehashed slogans (this could become a spot the slogan competition):
- In Sado, nobody can hear you scream.
- Don't get mad, get Sado.
- Sado Island, come for the map, stay for the lack of ferries back to sanity.
- The island in front is Sado.
- Vorsprung durch Sado.
- Sado's for me! (Nicked from the Scottish tourist boards '80s tartan clad slogan)
- The man from Del Monte, he says 'Sado!'.
- Sado! The best a man can get.
- Buy it. Sell it. Sado it.
- Do you have the tanuki inside?
- It's a Sado.
- You've got questions, we've got Sado.
- Hello, Sado
- Between love and madness lies Sado.
- FCUK Sado
- Impossible is Sado
- Don't do it. Sado. (plus undynamic swoosh)
- Maybe she's born with it, maybe it's Sado skyline.
- 58 Varieties, Sado (of Tanuki)
- It's Sado time!
- You're now in Sado country.
- If only everything in life was as reliable as Sado.
- You know when you've been Sado'd!
- Sado. Probably the best island in the world.
- Sado. What's the worst thing that could happen?
- Sado. It gives you wings.
- Sado. The choice of a new generation.
Please note:
For the purposes of amusement, Billy Idol and MC Hammer's artistic title's were misspeled in a cheap attempt at humour. No '80s or '90s popular music relics were harmed during production of this email, other than Huey Lewis, who was given a dead arm when he lied about the ages of 'the News'.
