Going Out of Style? 'Verb-Your-Noun' Taglines. What You Can Learn from Famous Slogans

What is the difference between a tagline and a slogan? What are some of the best slogans of all time? I analyze the trend in taglines called "verb-your-noun" that I think is on its way out. You've seen it, like "Find your tribe" or "Maximize your space" or "Fund your dream." These are imperatives (commands) to a customer. You might be using this tagline framework as it's been popular for 5-10 years especially in SaaS. It's okay right now, but getting dusty (culturally) and probably won't work in a couple years.
