I have been thinking about starting this thread for some time. Here we can post slogans we find as well as make them ourselves and study them. I seen a great one today on the side of a Brinks armored car. I'll have to see if I can find it.

That shows it pretty good. Do you see what's wrong with it other then no one proof read it before them using it? It actually has the opposite effect of what they are probably striving for.

I know how everyone loves to contradict me but just leave me out of it. Just read it for what it says, might say, and how it will most likely be perceived by others.

Hmm, yes, remove the periods and the words form a sentence. I would have used asterisks or something like that instead to separate the words, myself. Perhaps this slogan is meant to be read two different ways.

How does it come a cross? How does it reflect on Brinks? It is lost in the worlds of incompletion and vagueness.

It does compose a complete thought. Some might think, though, that the slogan is trying to manipulate the viewer into trusting the company and it's 'innovations.' This would slip right past others, though. It's made to reach the subconscious mind.

Perhaps this slogan is meant to be read two different ways. Two of the top ways it plays out are. 150 People Trust Innovation (Doesn't make since) 150 People Trust BRINKS Innovation (If you try an include that BRINKS into the mix which doesn't reflect well on them)

The 150 indicates the number of years that the company has been in business. This does back up the trust angle. To me, the slogan is saying 'people have been trusting us for 150 years.

The word innovation seems to back up their vaunted prowess at keeping things secure.

Well, if I remember my grammar lessons correctly, I think that 'people trust innovation' is a complete sentence. I might have mis-remembered, too.
