I second that..once the field gets down to 10 or 15! The polls won't let you do a 1,000. This was too hard to pick from!

Arent they asking us to narrow it down for them because they are busy with our orders?Thats how I understood it.Then they choose??Am I wrong??
Well that is kind of the point of doing this... there are way too many and some good ones WILL get lost in the shuffle! The more eyes that go through it and call attention to the best, the less likely to miss one... right?
When we narrow the field and Mark and Steve have added their input we will be posting a poll for the finalists. I know this is not a perfect way, but given the sheer volume of submissions (What is it, like 33 pages?) Steve really needed help with this. Thanks to those of you who have taken the time to read through and share your favorites with me. I know the boys will appreciate it.
Thanks too to The Tout who is trying to condense all the submissions into a more easily read page.

Invaluable advice, Sky-Guy. Ok - not invaluable, someone pays you for it on a regular basis - but worth infinitely more than you're being compensated for.
I liked "Kick Some Butts" but it doesn't play to your Point #2 well. I'm on the fence there and I'm not sure I can entirely get behind your Point #2. It's marketing and PR's job to sell the "solution" - FUD is a standard objection to the sale that needs to be overcome in that step. In theory I agree entirely with your Point #2 - but in practice, I'd have to wonder what I'm paying my marketing and PR people for if they can't overcome something so basic.
Would you classify "Kick Some Butts" as implied or stated literally?
I like "Kick Some Butts" ( or better yet- "Kick .... w/VK")... it implies quitting. Just don't match it with a pic of an ashtry full of cig buts and a red circle with a line thru it... sry, that smacks of late nite infomercial claims.
In deed "overcoming something so basic" is what we do. We take A LOT of things into consideration and develop a plan and stratagy with an understood goal in mind... a slogan being only a part of it.
Picking your companys slogan from a contest can be dangerous... like building an attractive house without a solid foundation or an archer executing a great shot, but hitting the wrong target.
We are submitting our lists of favorites Birdy; I've got my list which I will give to Steve today. But we're also going to consider the group input. Fortunately, nearly all my favorites have been mentioned on this thread, so I'm already thinking in tune with most of you.
Personally, the ones I like best are plays on the name, either V4L or VK. I didn't really like the "...." ones, just because others have already used similar slogans, both other e-cig suppliers, and of course all the pharmaceuticals. Besides, it's too obvious. I go for originality. And of course, I kept in mind that we can't make specific medical claims, and we don't want to add to the (unfair and inaccurate) charges of marketing e-cigs to kids.

Whatever you guys decide is going to be great. You have a lot of very creative customers & submissions to choose from
. sigh, I know. It's frustrating because the benefits we all know we're getting from vaping and the terrific variety of flavors V4L offers are two of the strongest points you could make. And we just can't. grrr.
btw- The new avatar makes me keep thinking you're TropicalBob
My eyes are throbbing... I just re-read every post again... no wonder they want our help to whittle it down!
Obviously, I am partial to my own submissions, so here are my five favorites not submitted by me first:
1) I always liked this one because it says it all!
2) I think this one would make a great bumper sticker:
3) This is an awesome graphic!
and while DaShiVa did make some slight changes, trs did post this one first, so I think they both deserve credit:
4) This is a clever, concise, yet mysterious logo which could garner a lot of curiosity:
5) A lot has been said about making unsubstantiated health claims, but I think this slogan is fabulous in that the slogan itself really captures what I think all of us vapers truly feel now... while giving smokers something to think about... while using a very common turn of phrase that says it all without making any false claims. So simple, yet so perfect.
6)
Okay, and one more honorable mention, as a lot of work went into this design, and I especially like the logo on the back of the e-cig with the positive/negative ends:
And finally, I have to add to my own tally with MY five favorite submissions (and thanks so much to all of you who have nominated me!! I really appreciate it!):
If I could've spent the time re-doing this (I have no graphic expertise, I just did this with Microsoft Paint!), I think I would've definitely made all of the V's orange too, as mentioned below:
These haven't been mentioned yet, so I wanted to give them another day in the sun
GOOD LUCK EVERYBODY! THIS WAS FUN!! ~Viv

4) This is a clever, concise, yet mysterious logo which could garner a lot of curiosity:
With a nod to Birdy for suggesting that the graphic remain in the "<3" format to reflect the online moniker of a heart, as well as adding the website below it (so those curious folk could follow their curiosity).

I vote for Viv Savage JUST for the mere effort and dedication to read and review every post..... PROPS man serious Props. and his slogan seems to be the most popular
Good luck everyone!
And...for the record, I too, read each and every post before narrowing my list to 5....it was very very hard. I couldnt imagine having to be the last one deciding! Many will be picked Im sure, as all are deserving!

and time consuming lol
and I just realized we're making comments on JenJens entries choices list only thread 8-o
sorry.
*heads for the door*
Thanks, Dude! But as you can see, I'm not the only one. I just know that we all thought once we posted our ideas it would be in the hands of the Powers That Be (I was actually hoping they were checking daily and jotting down their favorites along the way)... but since we're doing it this way, while I was obviously happy to already have garnered attention on my submissions, I just wanted to make sure I gave consideration to everyone else's as well... everybody who made the effort and took the time to submit deserves a fair shake!
I tried to break it down into categories, but ran out of steam. Here's my votes:
First 6 general slogans:
#279- DaShiva- "Ask me about my electronic cigarette"
#122- aquaholic- "Vaporking- Get the LED out"
#127- zdaddyl- "Keep on smilin- Vapor4Life.com"
#210- Thyestean- " V4L- We're not hard to find, just follow the smiles"
#239- PawPaw- "Vapor4Life- because smoke4cancer doesn't make sense"
#249- zdaddyl- "Smilin never tasted so good- Vapor4Life"
Best T-shirt design:
#241- crashtestjeep-
Funny slogans:
#292- 420smiles- "Now when I cough, it's to cover my farts"
#140- Maaron- "Is that an XL in your pocket, or are you just happy to quit analogs?- V4L- Always a happy ending"
Most Original:
#335- 420smiles- Dearest Smoking,
You have been a wonderful friend to me thru the years. Recently I heard from a few people that you were doing bad things to me without my knowlage. I know, you warned me to begin with........but nobody ever sees the bad stuff going into the relationship. I just thought "Don't we look good together?", but I can no longer sit here and let you do this to me. I wrote you this letter to say "I've moved on.......I've found someone else." It's name is Vapor4life. It satisfies me, in that way I need......without all the damage. Please understand, I never planned it this way......We just found each other on the internet one day. I just feel like Vapor4Life is so much better for me. You understand, we can never see each other again....... right?
