of Shame

Bad taglines are typically vague, awkward, pretentious, inane, underwhelming, confusing, complicated, negative, or ambiguous – and often communicate an unintended message. They are also occasionally guilty of using trendy clichés and meaningless business jargon. They tend to devalue a brand. If you come across some bad taglines, please send them along to: Eric@TaglineGuru.com.
