Hey all!

We have our Skepticamp 2011 tshirt design worked out (see attached). Now we need a good tag line. I don't really like the one on the shirt currently. My thought is something like

Critical Thinking Everyday
Critical Thinking in Everyday Life

etc

Thought I would create this thread as a brainstorming session for some ideas?

Let me know!

Here's some I came up with:

Free Your Mind, And The Rest Will Follow
Thinking Clearly
Where there is doubt, there is freedom.
Think for yourself.
Burden of Proof.
Investigate.
Evidence-based.
Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence.

Maria, are we locked into using "critical thinking" as a motto or something?  I really like several of Laura's, particularly:

Thinking Clearly
Where there is doubt, there is freedom
Think for yourself

This next one could set up some genius typographical work

Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence

something like:


I can't make up my mind about this one.  I either really like it or I don't.  :)

Free Your Mind, And The Rest Will Follow

Not at all locked into using 'critical thinking'.

I like the extraordinary claims line and "help yourselves to reason'

Also, I like Think for  yourself but how about

"Think for yourself. Share what you learn"

To tie into the community aspect of skepticamp?

I'm fond of the "Help yourselves to reason" since it combines that southern "help yourselves" with the idea of skepticamp's self-organization.
 
But I am, as you all are painfully aware, addicted to wordplay and multiple meanings.

My vote is for Think for yourself, share what you learn.

I like the " help yourself to reason", or slight variation "skepticamp: a big helping of reason".

I like what Phil Plait says...The universe is amazing enough without making up crap.
I know it's too long for the shirts, just thought I'd share.
