As most of you already know, our Admin SweetNicole started a thread asking our community what should be ResetEra's slogan, and I understand that the staff gave great thought on that, since the options avaliable on that thread's pool are both pretty cool, "New Game+" and "Continue?".
Some ideas were thrown out there as jokes, like this one by BGBW :
But the option on the poll currently winning is the "(no slogan)", with the general argument that we shouldn't let the past define us. And while this is a strong argument that I agree with, I don't think the idea of having a slogan - or having more than one or dare I say it, several slogans - isn't conciliatory with this very idea at all. I just think that like Steve or Tony would say... we have to get bigger.
Well, I think I just came up with a great solution for the slogan of ResetEra that just struck me. The first question we should ask ourselves is "who or what is ResetEra?" and "why do we even need a slogan in the first place?".
Well, the answer for the first question in my opinion is that we are ResetEra. We are a community. ResetEra isn't a place, it's a people. So since we are this crazy community driven initiative that is bound to become a positive voice in the world of gaming, entertainment and discussing life in general, we are anything that we set ourselves up to as a community to.
So yeah, and why we need a slogan again, and why the hell are you creating a whole thread to talk about this instead of the original thread, you might be wondering. Well, I've tried to post on the poll thread, but I felt my idea was kinda lost in the shuffle there and call it narcissism, but I'm really bursting with ideas right now of some stuff that I feel it'd be pretty cool for us to discuss as a community about this.
On my post on that thread, I've said: "What if instead of "New Game +" or "Continue?" we literally use ALL of them? Can we have the slogan randomized so everytime we refresh it shows up differently and that way, the community can contribuite to several different slogans that change from time to time, based on events, holidays and stuff like that".
So my idea kinda developed to something more. What if this could be a cool way to kickstart our own merch store? How cool it would be if our growing community started a merch store like WeLoveFine.com, where we would come up with our own designs and stuff like WeLoveFine.com does? I mean, I would love if could come up with something like that and hel, I even have my very own idea for a slogan that I feel like represents to me what ResetEra is:
ResetEra
is not a place, it's a people
We could organize a thread or even a whole subforum to brainstorm ideas and stuff. I really like the idea of us coming up with. Hopefully the mods will be okay with this thread, because I really feel like we can strike something truly special with this. So my questions to the community are basically this:
How do you feel about the idea of randomized slogans that would show up each and every day? Is something like this even possible? How the staff and the community as a whole feels about the idea of creating our own merch in the molds of what WeLoveFine.com does? What other cool logos can you think of for ResetEra if something like this is possible?
