Using Slogans and Sayings
Some of the key ways that slogans can be used include:
- T-shirts: Slogans can look dramatic when featured on a t-shirt. These can often be a talking point and are suitable for people of all ages and backgrounds.
- Fabric shopping bags: There's no better way to share the recycle message than using a reusable grocery bag that features a suitable slogan.
- Pens and pencils: A pen or pencil has plenty of space for a short slogan, and they are easily passed along to others.
- Badges and buttons: Make a fashion statement with an environmental slogan. Badges and buttons make great gifts, as well as being a talking point.
Images with Slogans
On their own, slogans can lack the visual impact of images. Therefore, one of the best ways to present slogans is with a strong image to illustrate the message. This makes an attractive feature for postcards and greeting cards, and is another way to spread the word.
- Use free images whenever possible. These can be found on free stock photo websites, and Wikimedia Commons maintains a large amount of public domain images. Make sure you understand the terms of use, and whether you're limited to making items for yourself or if you can make mass items using the images.
- Use the images in conjunction with dramatic text. Poems are a great example of short, simple, direct, and poignant text that can look great with an image while also contributing to your message.
Write Your Own Slogans
Creating your own unique slogan is a great way to spread the word about a great cause. Make your slogan short and to the point, with a few powerful keywords for emphasis. Make a note of the key environmental issues that you want to raise awareness of and then highlight the ones that make a real statement. When you have created your slogans, ask for feedback and continue to fine tune the slogans until you are happy with how they sound. When finished, your slogan can be used to create your own unique t-shirts and other items.
