well let's turn this into the token slogan thought process thread....


1) Take it to the next level

2) Building your childhood dreams

3) From wood to pixels

4) I promise honey this is my last cabinet

5) pixel pleasure from past to present


that's what I got so far... keep them coming

Slogan:  Mmmmmm, Mmmmmm, BEEYOTCH.

Not really arcade related, but funny nonetheless.

Also funny:  I'm Rick James, Beeyotch.

OK, this is the discussion thread for slogans. Thanks guys.    Lets see if we can develop a consensus, if not we can vote.

Personally I am fond of Kev's "Build. Restore. Play." slogan, and I'll add a variant: "Build. Play. Repeat"

"Arcade Gaming Your Way"
"Rebuilding the Past"
"Experience the Classic Arcade"

well I suggest we keep throwing ideas around for a couple days, then we start discussing which ideas look the most promising and try to knock it down to a dozen or so then we take a vote on them.......

My personal opinion is that since this token has an 80's feel with the old school invaders tails and the cocktail cabinet on the front we go with something that mentions replaying the games of our youth
Title: Re: Slogan Ideas

I agree -- we need to brainstorm for a while, throwing ideas into the ring, then we have a big gladiator match, where the strongest ideas beat the  :censored: out of the wimpy ideas, and once we wash off all the blood, we have our champions!

(Or something like that. Anyway, we're still in the brainstorming phase - just throw in your ideas, and make note of the ideas that other people suggest that you like as well!)

I like the latin idea, but something is not quite right about it. It seems like it's supposed to be a spin off of the US quarter text, but you have things mixed up. "In God We Trust" is not in latin on the quarter, it's "Out Of Many, One", or "E Pluribus Unum". Perhaps something along the lines of "Out Of Many, MAME" or

Some geared for the space invaders side:

Here are some with similar wording, not sure what sounds best(feel free to suggest alternatives if you like):

Others:

I feel that the slogan thread needs to be branched off into groups:
One dealing with credit/token/value
One for nod/wink to us BYOAC'ers
One for Themed slogans dealing with token design

For themes so far, I like:

Build.Play.Repeat
One token to play them all..

And for a spin off on the Latin thing, I suggest

"E Pluribus Arcadium"

I have no idea if it is correct, but it rolls of the tongue nicely. ;D

Post by: Santoro on June 06, 2006, 11:50:31 am
Talking to myself again :blah:

On the two winning sides we actually have three spots for slogans....  that's too many IMHO.  Let's put "No Cash Value" on the back for authenticity's sake.   That would leave two free text blocks. 

My gut reaction is that even two might be too many slogans.  Does the group agree?  If yes, what other text might we put? 

If I am the only one that feels this way, we'll stick with two, using the first and second place poll winners- if they can physically fit.
Title: Re: Slogan Ideas
Post by: shardian on June 06, 2006, 12:40:19 pm

Post by: jfunk on June 06, 2006, 12:44:57 pm
Yeah, I think 2 is even too many..  Maybe just 'One Credit' and 'No Cash Value' on the back..  With slogan on the front...?

Okay then, I'd like to un-2nd "Build. Restore. Play" 
Title: Re: Slogan Ideas
Post by: Santoro on June 06, 2006, 01:16:47 pm
I am going to poll it (All your Base...) even though I don't like it.  This is a community effort here. 

We were mostly kidding about the un- stuff.  No need to un-anything.

Post by: Havok on June 06, 2006, 01:17:55 pm
I agree 2 slogans is too much. We should go with only 1.

I un-3rd "Build. Restore. Play"
Title: Re: Slogan Ideas
Post by: Santoro on June 06, 2006, 01:18:28 pm
The BYOAC stuff would stay.  

Are you still putting on the BYOAC/www.arcadecontrols stuff, or will one of the two slogans replace all or part of that?

I just asked because on the winning layout, www.arcadecontrols.com was taking up only1/4 of the circumference of the coin. On previous coins, this has taken up almost half. Would it even be legible at that size? It may be a moot point even trying to go for 2 slogans if there is actually no room for a second.
Title: Re: Slogan Ideas
Post by: MYX on June 06, 2006, 02:10:23 pm
2nd for the second time. - "One Token (coin) to play them all".
Un2nd "All yer crap slogans..."  ;) No sir...I don't like it.

2nd for "Real gamers use tokens" - from ARCADE5280

I un-third it.  I never liked that. It's just too 'inside' IMHO. 

Technically, 'all your base' is not even arcade-related.  It's from a console port of zero-wing.  The original arcade game had so such engrish cut scenes.

Build, Restore, Play in latin= Constructum , Restituo , Lascivio

Which I like.

No Cash Value = haud cash pendo

I also like the "one token to play them all" but how about "one coin to play them all"?

I think it sounds  a little better.

1 Coin, 1 Credit
1 Coin, 1 Up

This is cobbled together latin, but:

Please, anyone with any knowledge of Latin, feel free to correct!
Second.

One slogan is all that's needed IMO. Also, I don't much care for the "all your" either.

So many haters.    Can't all you guys just wait for the vote to see what wins?   Does there really need to be a campaign against any one slogan?   Guess what, there are a lot of slogans I don't care for either.  Do I need to make a post every time I see a slogan I don't like?

Okay then, I don't much care for anything in latin.  I really hope nothing in latin wins the vote.    ::)

I went through and took the ones Santoro had listed and added the ones I seconded and any others I thought that I saw someone second. I added the name of the first person who suggested it. but after all that work was to tired to get the name of the person who seconded it. so here is the list so far....

I suggest that if you have any additions to this list, that you copy this list, add the additions to the bottom of the list, and repost it with your additions so that Santoro has something to go by when making the polls....

Bringing Arcade Classics to Life (JoyMonkey)  ( I second this one without the word Arcade)
Bringing Arcade Classics to Life (JoyMonkey)
Pixel Preservation Power (KevSteele)  ( I second this one without the word power)
Rebuilding the Past (Santoro)
Satisfy your inner child  (clonedsheep)
Keeping Games Alive Forever  (JOINTHEBOMB)
High Score Addict (JOINTHEBOMB)
Yesterday's Games Today  (missioncontrol)
Cocktails Anyone?  (MinerAl)
Build. Restore. Play  (KevSteele)
I NEED more tokens!    (Havok)
The Arcade Will Never Die  (KevSteele)
Take it to the next level   (missioncontrol)
The Classics Never Die   (KevSteele)
In Arcadus Nos Fides   (Havok)
Build it, the invasion's coming.   (patrickmaher)
One Token to play them all   (couldn't find original submitter, but seconded by MYX)


All your game are belong to us  (just for Peale's tokens)   :cheers:

Just to clarify...are these the two slogans that are changing?  Or is it the "BUILD. RESTORE. PLAY." and "ALL YOUR GAME..."?

(http://www.thedesignloophole.com/tokenSlogans.jpg)

Slogan A is currently "THE GAME IS NEVER OVER"
Slogan B is currently "ALL YOUR GAME ARE BELONG TO US"
Title: Re: Slogan Ideas
Post by: ARCADE5280 on June 08, 2006, 01:37:49 pm
I would like to see "COCKTAILS ANYONE?" as slogan A and "ALL YOUR GAME..." as slogan B (whatever number in nominations we are on these).  I think that "BUILD. RESTORE. PLAY."  sums up BYOAC well.

If we are voting on two we might want to vote one first and then the second to make sure we don't have one slogan being selected for both areas.
