tagline

Memorable marketing phrase

A tagline is a memorable phrase associated with a brand, product, or creative work—a slogan designed to stick in the mind: Nike's tagline is "Just Do It".

Films often have taglines on promotional materials: The tagline for Alien was "In space no one can hear you scream".

The term also applies to a brief identifying phrase in email signatures or online profiles.
