Orlando needs a new slogan, you can help.

Las Vegas has "What happens here stays here."

Tombstone, Ariz., "The town too tough to die."

Atlantic City, "Always turned on."

Roswell, N.M.: "The aliens aren't the only reason to visit."

Everybody knows...

The Big Apple

The Windy City

The City of Angels

The City of Lights

The City of Brotherly Love

The Big Easy

What do we have? The City Beautiful. Hardly memorable, it's old school and doesn't have any kick. What do you recommend?

A good slogan will attract attention, stimulate curiosity and fill the residents' hearts with pride. A great slogan will create impact, inspire, motivate and make a lasting impression.

Here's my choice...

The Big O, you'll want to come!

I like multiplicity so I came up with Orlando...Get blown away! Could cover things like our theme parks...our hurricanes...possibly even a companion piece to The Big O! Hate to say it but it even has a link to Kennedy Space Center!

I know that last part was in poor taste but someone would think the same thing.

Have a great day!

Highlighting Orlando pay scales (and playing off Las Vegas slogan, Lost Wages):
Fantasia Wages

Thinking about all the theme parks:
The City of Make Believe

Similar to the double-meaning of The Big O, how about:
We put the FU into UCF

Hey, Pat:
Good afternoon.
I'm sorry I missed my chance to contribute to your show as you conducted your Orlando slogan segment this morning.
However, and for what it's worth, here are my contributions:

1. Great begins with O
2. Magic will guide you here
3. Experience life to the power of O

Thank you, and have an awesome day.

An avid listener,

Roberto
