WNYMedia Needs A Slogan

wnymedia_logo_orange

So, we’re working on some new marketing materials and we thought it best to tap into the hive mind of the local interwebs to help us pick a new slogan.  We want self-deprecation, snark, sarcasm…essentially something that sums up what we’re all about.  Be mean if you want, we’re big boys and we can take it.

Alan and I started with a few samples to help you get started and get an idea of what we’re looking for.

  • WNYMedia.net Leave your happy pants at home
  • WNYMedia.net Where libertarians congregate like abused puppies
  • WNYMedia.net You’ll love to hate us too
  • WNYMedia.net The Truth Hurts
  • WNYMedia.net Buffalo pissed in our Cheerios
  • WNYMedia.net Adjacent to Canada
  • WNYMedia.net That restaurant BRO sent you to? It sucks
  • WNYMedia.net Even Mike Hudson thinks we’re assholes. Mike Fucking Hudson!
  • WNYMedia.net Like Buffalo, We’re Mediocre!
  • WNYMedia.net We Oversleep, They Report, You Decide!
  • WNYMedia.net Misanthropic Media For The Masses
  • WNYMedia.net Still bitching about the same stuff as in 2005
  • WNYMedia.net We probably hate you, too
  • WNYMedia.net Where the annoying debate club kids from high school go to hangout
  • WNYMedia.net Fatter than Cellino. Balder than Barnes
  • WNYMedia.net Like ACORN, only employed
  • WNYMedia.net Kinda like reporters, just unpaid
  • WNYMedia.net Some of us used to work in journalism
  • WNYMedia.net If we could do it all over again, we would’ve picked a better name

Winner gets one of our cool T-shirts.  You’ll get to choose from one of the following styles:
