1. Once you go black you can never go back

2. If you can't beat us, join us

3. The truth is out there

4. The wild west of cyberspace

5. Because cookies were meant to be stuffed

6. Because rules were meant to be broken

7. Because there are no rules

8. The Dark Side of Internet Marketing

9. Bringing Black Back

10. Black is Black

They were all decent, but nothing made me like one way better than the other. I just voted for number 2.

#3 (**permalink**) 10-01-2008, 06:40 AM

2 or 8 would do for me.

1,9 and 10 would make the banner and tagline a little monotonous i.e black and back overload.

**Keedev** · #4 (**permalink**) 10-01-2008, 10:03 AM

This hat is black.......... Not..

Anyways I voted for 1 since the tag has seemed so far to hold it's ground.

**ajeeyunz** · #5 (**permalink**) 10-01-2008, 10:08 AM

i vote for "The Dark Side of Internet Marketing"

hmmmm personally I prefer something else like
'Where Reality is only a Concept...'

**themagician** · #8 (**permalink**) 10-01-2008, 12:04 PM

'...I give up!

The new header chosen is graphically awful and now it would seem the tag is to be chosen from a list of inappropriate slogans.

What a shame!...It all could have been so professional, top-class and FREE'...If Admin had chosen a professional graphic designer.

I realise I'm making enemies with this post but the truth should not be feared. I am stating fact not opinion and can back it up. What the hell are you guys smoking?

The Wild West of Cyberspace
Bringing Black Back
Because there are no rules
The truth is out there?

Who the hell thinks this sh*t up?'

I do this kind of marketing for a living and get paid the Big Bucks for doing it and still you're playing with the wanabees.

C'mon We're better than this!'

I voted 4 - The wild west of cyberspace

but i like 'Where Reality is only a Concept...' that's pretty hot

**yuppy** · #10 (**permalink**) 10-01-2008, 03:10 PM

i voted against the ones regarding cookie stuffing, since well, the less attention to that the better

**PhiltheBear** · #11 (**permalink**) 10-01-2008, 03:17 PM

I really don't understand.

You have a new logo - which incorporates the 'Blackhat SEO Forum' tag. I objected to that in the logo vote - because this forum isn't all about SEO (or perhaps it is and all the other posts are just my wild imaginings).

Now you have a list of tags which bear no relation to anything. Rather than casting votes for this couldn't you ask for suggestions (unless I missed that bit beforehand) - and, please, please let whatever is picked replace that 'Blackhat SEO Forum'.

I'm not voting for any of these - they just aren't good enough.

Suggest something to use then...

Instead of pointing out negative things try to contribute a more suitable tagline...if it's good I can add it. I agree the new logo may not be the most brandable but it was what the majority of people wanted. Nothing is set in stone in life and things can always be changed. I never had a chance to give feedback on the logos so who knows in a month or 2 there could be Logo Contest Part 2.

I know a forum that switches its logo every week...

I also like 'where reality is only a concept' - But I voted for 9 already.

**blackhatcatz** · #15 (**permalink**) 10-01-2008, 05:45 PM

I vote number 1.. Lol even if i do wh stuff. I think I can't go back to completely WH. Blackhat is easy cash. It's hard to resist.

**unlimitedpostings** · #16 (**permalink**) 10-01-2008, 05:53 PM

I really hope it doesn't turn out to be #1. That phrase was overused 5 years ago, and while it does take on a different meaning here, I still associate it with something completely different and don't think I could work it out in my mind for this site.

I do like a few of the others though. My favs are 2, 7, and 9. I wish Nevarc's would have been added before I had voted. I really like it.

I agree. I think it is ugly and completely flawed.

Looks like something I would have made 2 years ago when I didn't even know what Photoshop was ...

**Essential Clix** · #18 (**permalink**) 10-01-2008, 07:58 PM

I don't see any reason why the current logo has to be set in stone, just because it received the most votes. Surely we could rotate logos every few days and try them out, until we find one that seems to fit the best.

As for this not being an SEO forum, that IS the main purpose of this forum. Everything else is just kind of a bonus.

And as for the tagline, if we keep the current logo, there will be no use for one, as it's already in the logo. However, I'd vote for #8 or #2. As I said before, #1 just sounds like the tagline for some sleezy ebony porn site like blacksonblondes.com...

but this forum has grown a lot outside blackhat seo,so does it still remain blackhat seo forum?

**Essential Clix** · #20 (**permalink**) 10-01-2008, 09:08 PM

Actually, I take that back. Blackhat Marketing better encapsulates this forum

How about this: Blackhat Marketing & SEO Forum

Better

- but then you are missing out, for example, cookie stuffing....

Blackhat Marketing on its own maybe?

**Essential Clix** · #22 (**permalink**) 10-02-2008, 03:15 AM

This forum was started as a blackhat SEO forum, and I think it should hold onto those roots. However, I suppose The Dark Side of Internet Marketing would work well, as would simply Blackhat Marketing.

ashilicious · #23 (**permalink**) 10-02-2008, 03:29 AM

You don't want it to be too scary... or do you?

ashilicious · #24 (**permalink**) 10-02-2008, 03:33 AM

I see black hat as another world of opportunity. The internet is still so young and persuadeable.

I voted for The Dark Side of Internet Marketing, but I also like just a plain and simple:

The Black Hat Marketing Forum

cpaaddict · #26 (**permalink**) 10-02-2008, 01:42 PM

Innercore · #30 (**permalink**) 07-13-2009, 08:22 PM

Hey
How about these taglines:

1.Nothing Impossible with Black Hat

2.Black Hat - A Modern RobinHood

eddyman1us · #31 (**permalink**) 07-15-2009, 01:56 AM

so when we will get to buy the the T-shirt ???

cool0403 · #32 (**permalink**) 07-15-2009, 02:08 AM

i like 1 and 8 , i would definitely buy a t-shirt for this. I would love to see if you can also have shorts, pants, even underwear. hehe .

jarhead · #33 (**permalink**) 07-19-2009, 05:04 AM

How about,
I put on my blackhat and wizard robe

Piree · #34 (**permalink**) 07-21-2009, 09:24 PM

Hmm no tagline that I really like, but I don't know any good either

Maybe: Nothing can escape a black(hat)hole

In reality hawkin gas can escape tho, but lets leave that behind

g-Vector · #35 (**permalink**) 07-27-2009, 11:53 AM

I always ignore these type of questions, because most people are much better at giving suggestions then I am.
I don't know if this is still open for suggestions, but it's not closed either.

Black Hat always gives me the impression of something you cannot touch.
So I was thinking along the lines of

unnoticeable
invisible
unnoticeable seo
invisible seo
invisible magic
Always one step ahead
casts the invincible shadow

And just for fun : Zorro.

These are just what springs to mind with the term black hat, they are not finished slogans.

Robert

EDIT: Can't vote anymore. So I guess that it was closed after all. I would have voted "The Dark Side of Internet Marketing".

For a t-shirt, I like the idea of a skull wearing a black hat (maybe smoking a joint or cig) with this below it:
" 'Nuff Said "
It would connect with those of us who know...but what do I know, I am a little vodka infused right now...anyway, you get my drift.
