Our local club is  planning on having a booth at a few of the upcoming local festivals. I have been put in charge of getting the banner/posters for our tent. I  need some help with a slogan.  So lay it on me guys.

Thanks in advance.

"We communicate when others can't."

Or slightly more tongue in cheek;

"Who ya gonna call?

And how do you plan to do it if everything's down?"

"When All Else Fails, Ham Radio Works"
This is already in use, I did a quick search on yahoo.

Who is the audience?  What types of people will be at the festivals?

I would be tempted to use the "Can you hear me now?" slogan with a photo of something like:  http://www.baynews9.com/content/news/baynews9/news/article.html/content/news/articles/cfn/2013/8/21/cell_phone_tower_cat.html  

As you know there is a ton more to amateur radio than just emergency communications.  But that seems to be what gets most people these days interested.

These are arts and crafts shows, music, car shows, etc. in small towns. The audience will consist of people from all demographics.  Our goal is  to promote amateur radio and try to spark new interest and/or renew old interest.

I've been pointing out to the YLs that ham radio would allow 'nets' of all their friends chatting away with no minutes to fight over, and it works if the cell phone gets taken away.

Kind of the inverse of the 'my prostrate is THIS big' nets.

Course they'd need to be pretty close for tech license to do it, but no point having that conversation until after the hook is set.

Welcome aboard! Just remember, if anything goes wrong, it's all ar-jedi's fault.

How about "We Talk To The World", using a logo something like this?



I found this by searching for "ham radio logos".

I worked WA4FAT the other day and this is on his QSL.



It's a Gildersleeve cartoon, which graced the pages of QST for several decades.

We once were pigs but now We're Hams

Roses are Red, Violets are Not
They may be pretty but we sure are not

Thanks everybody for all the suggestions. I went with the design in my previous post, after I corrected the punctuation error. On a side note I have also signed up for First Grade English because apparently I need it.
