Okay friends, I need some help from you that are better at English than I.

Since some time now, my wife is planning on renewing her sandwich bar. A restart as it may.
So we already have a new concept and some good ideas on how we want to rebuild and fresh up the place.
I've been working on a new name and logo for it. I wanted something simple yet catchy and I came up with this:



"Tally" is the nickname her parents gave Chantal...
I just want to know if the sentence at the end is somewhat 'correct' English...

What do you guys think?
(BTW, Chantal loves it )

- Gun control means: using BOTH hands!
- Money doesn't make one happy, but when it rains cats and dogs, it's still better to cry in a Porsche than on a bicycle...

I like it, good name and love the clear, easy to read logo. Slogan sentence is correct. Like Kevin said, as long as nobody objects to calling them subs in the store name and clubs in the slogan.

In case I ever make it to Belgium, is there a CCFan discount?

is it a sub ? grinder ? hero? Hoagy? a club is 3 pieces of bread with bacon ,cheese , turkey ham roast beef of tuna for the filling.   The question you ask would be answered differently by members depending on their location in the states.. New england is a sub   formerly a grinder never a hoagy    only a hero if we are making fun of someone from away.

a tally can also be a tick mark or incremental numbering tool, so you could play on that, something like, where the sandwiches always get full marks. or, taste the high score. or, a delicious notch above the rest.

and for God's sake don't listen to Lewy, down with beetroot

I have owned a wholesale meat company for 38 years. The guys that were successful made a great sandwich for a good value, "slogans" did not matter. Quality. Quantity and price. And believe it or not, "price" did not mean cheap, it meant fair value. Good Luck with it!

If you're gonna go with a slogan I like this one better than what you have IMHO.

Just like any Mom and Pop sandwhich shop the great service and how good the food is will sell the business. Most times that I have found, it's the little hole in the wall restaurants that have the best food in town.

Best of luck Chantal!

Thanks for the input guys!

Well, the slogan was just me playing around (because in Belgium they will only know what subs are due to the fact that they heard that from the Subway shops here and people know the word 'club sandwich' from TV shows or movies)... We would just go for the logo.

And on the subject of quality and price. Chantal's shop exists for about 21 years now and she is renowned for her quality (and fair prcies for that matter). So that is covered

It's just that after so many years, we need to fresh up the whole concept a bit... Bring it to the USB 3.0 version

The whole club sandwich thing reminds me of a classic Mitch Hedberg routine about sandwiches. You could say: "If you love a great sandwich, join our club"

I would avoid 'ordinary' altogether.

I left the whole subs vs clubs thing alone, thinking we don't necessarily know what that call what kind of sandwiches in Belgium, but if they are just using words they hear on American TV shows, maybe we need to clarify to Kristof what Hollywood is saying and why mixing subs and clubs doesn't make sense. Kristof, over here any way, a "sub" is a "submarine" sandwich. Long role. Also called grinder, hero. A "club" is typically a multi-layer sandwich (i.e top bread-bottom bread and typically a slice in the middle, of regular flat slices of bread, with meat and lettuce and tomatoes, spread out in the two layers. So pretty much different than a "sub". Hence, Hollywood's comments on we're not really turning subs into clubs.

Whenever I hear Club, I first think of a wooden baseball bat like object.   And, what's a Gyro ?   Is a Gyro just another spelling of Hero ?
And, I like a good slogan, it helps correlate the product to the memory.

How bout:   Dive into Tally's Subs, (and then maybe something clever about Periscopes)
Or:   Why Tally's Subs? - Because Jimmy Johns is Freaky Fast and Subway is just plain Freaky.
Or:
Keep it....from sinkin'

You need to incorporate that you in the bath tub picture into the sign and say WHERE IS THE BEEF??????????

Now that is Marketing.
