Recognizable American Company Slogans

To make an effective company slogan, there is a mix of an artful blend of catchiness, brevity, and memorability. Many of the best ones adhere to a certain formula, making the slogan short and sweet, and often “punny”, which has shown to be effective in making that slogan more memorable. Love them or hate them, these slogans can become trapped in your head, repeating on an endless loop, which is the intended goal. These slogans often act as magnets for customers and some may stand out more significantly than others, gaining widespread and lasting popularity.

24/7 Wall St. reviewed the advertising blog Quality Logo Products’ the 50 best slogans of all time to identify America’s most famous company slogans. We added the latest annual revenue for each brand’s parent company from financial reports and company websites. The slogans are listed in no particular order.  A substantial number of brands associated with these iconic slogans specialize in selling relatively affordable and disposable consumer products like fast food, cereal, and beer. But this list also includes companies offering services and durable goods, a few of which are Apple, De Beers, The New York Times, Airbnb, and Toyota. (These are the companies with the best reputations in America.)

Slogans are meticulously crafted to be concise yet impactful, embedding themselves into the consciousness of potential patrons. Most slogans aim to highlight certain qualities that make the brand and its products stand out. Subway’s “Eat Fresh” separates it from the fast-food competition, suggesting that the sandwich maker’s food is fresher and healthier. “Save Money. Live Better.” is Walmart’s slogan that focuses on its main draw — low prices.

Some slogans focus on product specifics. M&M’s “Melts in Your Mouth, Not in Your Hands,” highlights that the candy was originally designed to survive the heat without turning into a gooey mess, and while some of the most famous slogans are brand mainstays, others have been retired as the products and times have changed.

Verizon used “Can you hear me now?” in the 2000s to boast its cell service in a time when cell coverage was not as ubiquitous. These days, Verizon has opted for “5G Built Right,” focusing on the current race to build cellular 5G networks.

The original L’Oreal slogan was “Because I’m Worth It” but was changed to “Because You’re Worth It” in the 1990s.

Slogans that are the best are triumphs of advertising and branding and have helped turn certain companies into household names, although some of these are no longer U.S.-owned however. Here are the highest-paying companies in America.
