Like the counterpart to the myth part,like saying,"It's not just a myth,believe it or not - it's true."
"It's real." might rock even equally.

you have an 'eye' for marketing
which works..

How bout this..

Mythical Hosting, Outstanding support is no longer just a myth

 

[beatz]

You don't listen

" Outstanding support is no longer just a myth"

With all respect, that's a long,boring sentence.

Even complicated for slogan standards and as exciting as a cardboardbox in a boring office in the middle of the summer.

Plus it restricts your "mythness" to only the support.

Like in

"Everything else is just average with us,but hey, our support team is really nice!"

Plus it just doesnt conjure any image/feeling/emotion/picture.

well then the best i can do is my #1
Where Myths become a reality.

im not much for this creativity thing

 

[beatz]

Well then at least strike the "a" in "a reality".
Although when looking at it it still doesnt look sexy,really.
Sounds like a Disney slogan really while saying nothing.
One "secret" with slogans,image,sound and so on is to BREAK or counter something.
Like everybody would expect a sentence like "Where myths become blablah" whereas "It's true." because of it's shortness in comparison to "Mythicalhosting.com" makes people think.
Hell, i'd even TM "It's true." for the webhosting area if i were you.

 

[mythicalhosting]

Where Myths become reality.

Better?

 

[beatz]

Notice my previous post updated.

 

[mythicalhosting]

ok so
Mythicalhosting.com Its True

does that make sense?

 

[beatz]

No.
This makes sense:

MythicalHosting.com
*********It's true.

or

MythicalHosting.com - It's true.

or

MythicalHosting.com
********...it's true.

or

MythicalHosting.com
****It's true.*****

or

MythicalHosting.com
******...It's TRUE !


Note the fullstop or the placement.

Although "It's real." has been said a zillion times already elsewhere, it would work here as well as it's a counterpart to the myth thing as said.

 

[mythicalhosting]

Mythical Hosting, WebHosting at its finest... It's True!

that any good?

 

[beatz]

What did i just say about length,sexyness and ecxitement?
Again a long, dry sentence plus this time the "It's true." part sounds like trying to assure ppl you ain't lying.
Naww.
"It's true."/"It's real." only works on it's own.
But admit it, you're afraid it doesn't say enough about your products,right?
That's why you wanna include some boring hosting words i guess?
Well, with the combo of mythicalhosting and just a plain "It's true/real." you create an image whereas any marketing blahblah just destroys it and makes it sound cheap and wannabe.
And artificial i might say.
Good slogans just like tv ads have to stick in your head.
That's mostly done by humor or sex or shortness or contrast.

 

[mythicalhosting]

ya... thats the reason

I cant just say
Mythical Hosting, Its true
cause to me that makes no sense what-so-ever

 

[beatz]

Well it does make sense.It's no myth,it's true, or it's true what they say.
Just like "It is." would say "Believe it folks, you can damn bet it's mythical.".
Point is it dont even have to make sense,it just has to stick in people's minds - which is most often aquired by things that make no sense.

 

[beatz]

Take that burger spot with "Where is the beef?!"
They could have said "Where you get just more beef for your money!" but instead the slogan was the WITB one.
Cuz it sticks.

 

[mythicalhosting]

It's no myth,it's true.

that one i like
Would it be good?

 

[yahoohaha]

mathical-hosting-we are wet hot!

 

[beatz]

Naww - then you'd have to rename to NonmythicalHosting.com
Don't you get it - the "It's true." works like an answer to what is rumored to be just a myth without actually saying"It's not a myth" - that saying is done by the visitors,in THEIR head.
That's the trick - just like in music the most important part is silence,not the notes.A good piece of music is not one that is full of notes but one that has placed the notes carefully around the silence so there is room enough for the listeners imagination.
That's why the whole effect of "It's true." is gone as soon as you add something to it.

 

[beatz]

Actually when thinking about it,"It's not a myth." without anything else could work as well because of it's countering of the name.
It's all about contrast really.

 

[beatz]

Hey this one might work as well ( credits to yahoohaha):

"Just do the myth." or "Do the Myth." or "..just do the myth."

That's it for tonite, i feel burned out.

 

[mythicalhosting]

i dont know... it all seems confusing to me in a sense
