Definition

 * Slogan by Oxford Dictionaries, Oxford University Press, April 2010 (accessed November 13, 2010)
 * : "A slogan is a memorable motto or phrase used in a political, commercial, religious and other context as a repetitive expression of an idea or purpose. The word slogan is derived from slogorn which was an Anglicisation of the Scottish Gaelic sluagh-ghairm (sluagh "army", "host" + gairm "cry"). Slogans vary from the written and the visual to the chanted and the vulgar. Often their simple rhetorical nature leaves little room for detail, and as such they serve perhaps more as a social expression of unified purpose, rather than a projection for an intended audience."

Examples

Points to ponder
The official name of our most favourite office suite is:  LibreOffice . No abbreviated form has been adopted and the abbreviated form will be best decided by its popular usage by the LibO/LO members and users.Only the official name should be used for the slogan. (Suggested by Marc Paré) Please keep in mind the LibreOffice branding guidelines. (Suggested by Volker Merschmann)

About the localisation of the slogan: One slogan, loosely translated into languages, would seem best to me. In other words, not a literal translation, but same idea translated. (Suggested by Brenden Seibel) Most of the slogans don't translate easily. But we should try to find a common central conclusion. (Suggested by Bernhard Dippold) ''We can also use an old proverb or famous quotation. Instead of translating into multiple languages, how about sticking to one of the old ones? Like Latin or Greek?'' (Suggested by sunk8)

On suggestions: I think the main slogan should remind people that LibreOffice is a series of programs that help one to write, draw, calculate... Maybe I am paranoid, but I think we should avoid: names that remind one of competitive software. (Suggested by Michel Gagnon) As well, avoid any negatives. (Suggested by Marc Paré)

''My idea is that the slogan should capture the idea of what the suite could do for the user, instead of what WE DID. The idea of writing, drawing, calculating efficiently and freely should come to the mind of the person reading the slogan. Keep in mind that the average user may not be, and most likely will not be, versed in the open source/commercial difference. Open file formats versus commercial formats don't matter as much as what the software does, how it does it, and what it costs! (Suggested by Brenden Seibel)''

Suggested LibreOffice Slogan
