Hi guys,
Just making up my business cards for the Brain and trying to decide on a little tag on them that will tell people about the company. How does this sound:
"Accessible games with brains."
Comments?
Cheers

Why not just "games with brains"? That sounds punchier.

Having given it some thought during the day, I think you are right.

Can I just say: terrible tagline.
So easily disparaged and mocked in reviews, etc. Also, it doesn't say anything to me. [devils advocate mode on]Your games have brains? What, mine don't? What are you trying to say? That you're better than us?[devils advocate mode off]

I'm tending to agree with Malc.
Maybe something more along the lines of "small games, big ideas"

I still have the dreadful "powered by steam, driven by imagination" back from when we were developing a system called steam to run all our games with. Course, it makes less sense now we don't!
tags...

Well, in general a tagline helps clarify the context to the viewer.
Giant Brain? What do they do? More precisely, what can they do for me? Ideally a tag can answer those questions where a name or logo doesn't on its own.
That's why a tag line is useful. Especially on websites where people scan very quickly for if a page is relevant to their needs.

I have some cards made up already, but just a few to give out to interested parties at the con. Self printed so it cost me diddly. I can always change it after further idea tossing about.

Some more idea
Submitted by Iain McAllister on Wed, 30/05/2007 - 16:23.
So on the subject of getting a better tagline, I want it to be something that says my games are well designed and thought through and as accesible as I can make them. 'Small games, big ideas' is good but will seem a bit weird if any of them take off, like I hope Bmovie will.
I am stumped a little to be honest. Will see what else I can come up with.
Got to go and see a friend's allotment just now.

How about this:
The Giant Brain: It is big, and it is clever.
Alright, no career in marketing for me.
