Unpub Slogan Contest

Enter-the-Contest-to-WINUPDATE: Comments and submissions are now closed. The poll will be posted later today (Monday, May 12)

Unpub needs a slogan, something that can sum up the program in a single sentence... or less. Sure, we could sit around and brainstorm ideas, but why not open up the floor to everyone? This is where we hope you come in.

In the comments below, put your idea for a slogan (one slogan per comment).

On Sunday, May 11, we will disable the comments and put up a poll May 12th.

Voting will then commence until Thursday May 15 at 11:59.

The winning slogan will be announced on Friday May 16th.

The winner will receive:

  • Bragging rights
  • A copy of New Science (new)
  • A copy of Compounded (new)
  • A random game from our collection (new)
  • Unpub 4 Promo cards pack

Think that is enough to motivate you? So turn on your genius switch and use that poetic tongue of yours.

    No slogan.

    Unpub already has a tagline: The Unpublished Games Network. This tagline should be included anywhere Unpub is mentioned as it provides a succinct explanation of what Unpub does. Invariably, any of the slogans I'm seeing here so far are cute or quirky, but none of them really capture what Unpub does. And Unpub needs that explanation so people don't hear the name and immediately think something like "it's... a pub... that doesn't serve drinks?" If you see "Unpub: The Unpublished Games Network," you think, "Oh, games? I like games. This sounds like some sort of group of people who are working on games that maybe aren't published yet for some reason? I want to find out more!"

    So I recommend no slogan, and keeping "The Unpublished Games Network" as Unpub's ubiquitous tagline.

    1. Nick.
      I understand where you are coming from, but please allow me to clarify (and, hopefully set your mind at ease). "The Unpublished Games Network" is part of the title of Unpub, consider it a Subtitle. All banner/marketing material will have 'The Unpublished Games Network' above the logo of 'UNPUB' in a smaller stylized font treatment. The slogan is for something to follow. So think, "Unpub: The Unpublished Games Network. Where blah blah blah blah witty blah."

      So believe me, nothing will be replacing that title, it is here to stay as long as UNPUB does. 🙂
