Slogan

• Example (see slides below)
• We have an annual Spring Picnic. On this one in
  pictures below, I got to go on the Augusta Canal.
• I learned about Butt Bridge here in Augusta,
  Georgia.
• Butt Memorial Bridge is a road bridge in Augusta,
  Georgia dedicated to Major Archibald Willingham
  Butt, a victim of the sinking of the RMS Titanic.
  The bridge was erected in 1914 and dedicated by
  President William Howard Taft, a personal friend
  of Butt's.

11
Slogan

• Example (cont)
• In 1994, the fate of the Butt Bridge (as it is
  affectionately known in Augusta) was in doubt.
  City planners wished to get 15 million from the
  Federal Highway Administration to reroute 15th
  street, creating a new thoroughfare. Plans called
  for the demolishing of the Butt Bridge. Locals
  created a popular movement to save the 80 year
  old bridge, producing two large-scale concerts
  nearby, punningly called the Butt Jam. One took
  place in 1994 and another in 1995. Several
  well-known bands of the time played the venue and
  the unofficial slogan, "Save Our Butt," appeared
  all over town. http//en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Butt_M
  emorial_Bridge
• The slogan, Save our Butt was simple,
  memorable, and identifiable
