Hartford's Latest Marketing Slogan

Unlike the much maligned "New England's Rising Star," this new slogan is at least somewhat based on reality.

My Life For Thee!!

There has been much commentary about the new state toursim slogan "Still Revolutionary." The internet being what it is, almost all commentary was negative and followed by the commentator trying their best to make a decent joke. Welcome to the 2012 news cycle.

Colin McEnroe did make the salient point that Connecticut doesn't have the history of being all that revolutionary. The best we were able to come up with was rechristening the much needed Hartford-New Britain Busway the "Revolutionary Road." Per usual, when it comes to slogans, we could take it or leave it. It's no "Sad City" but it's certainly not worth moaning about on Twitter all day. In reality, nothing is, it's nice outside.

But what does this have to do with a black iron fence?

Another Bizarre Marketing Slogan

We drive around Hartford a lot and it's almost never boring. If we don't find a new place to explore, we at the very least see interesting stuff. We've always been amused by delivery trucks with interesting, catchy slogans. One of our favorites is Robinson Pest Control. Yesterday we came across a NY based fish delivery company with this awesome slogan.

Brilliant. The catchy, three word marketing rhyme. Great stuff. In a long history of eating fish, we have to admit, never once have we though of "meat without feet."
