You know what's depressing? Our current slogan is so bad that none of these sounds funny to me. I mean, it's so bad that some of the faculty actually wrote letters objecting to it. In fact, it's so bad that there's a reality show on TLC with the same title.
"Little People, Big World"? Nope. Not a bad guess, though. |

The spouse did a year at the University of New Mexico...he has a tattered t-shirt from back in the day that someone made who was taking silk screening---kid made a fortune selling them:
"University of New Mexico: Harvard on the Rio Grande"
He claims there was another with a couple of the letters printed backwards:
"I used to didn't know how to spell studint. Now I are one at UNM!"

You've gotten down to almost the last few. I don't dare actually post it, but you're on the right track with Jon and Kate.

A cartography grad friend of mine drives around with a bumper sticker from hus school that reads: "Cartographers Rule the World". I'm not sure if this is a school/program slogan, but I like it.

The other really irritating "branding" trend is trademarking sayings or icons that have been in the public domain for decades or even centuries. New tagline pet peeve: Cadillac's "Life. Liberty. And the Pursuit.," which they have actually been allowed to trademark despite the fact that it is clearly lifted directly from the Declaration of Independence and is a grammatical nightmare with inappropriate punctuation and sentence fragments. It leaves me "Mad. Confused. And totally bewildered." They trademarked that. It's got a Jeep model name in it. Weird. |

Had to resurrect this thread because I saw a bus go by today with an ad on the side for a nearby university, showing a student and the slogan, "I can't believe our campus is one big classroom!" Well, I can't either.
I can believe your campus is one big beer keg.
I can believe your campus is one big jogging path.
I can believe your campus is one big construction site.
I can believe your campus is one big computer lab for the students to go on Facebook.
But one big classroom? Not so much.
