taglines

Brief promotional phrases

Taglines are short, memorable phrases used to capture the essence of a brand, product, or creative work.

A movie tagline appears on posters to hook audiences: In space, no one can hear you scream.

Advertising taglines become inseparable from brands: Just do it.

The singular tagline also refers to a signature line appended to emails or forum posts.
