2. Develop a team slogan or catchphrase that represents your team and the work you will do together in this class.

Slogans help to focus employees and customers on a positive identity or brand for an organization (e.g., Apple - “Think Different”; BMW - “The Ultimate Driving Machine”). A slogan can likewise establish a positive identity for a team and its members. Again, be creative and professional.

Slogan: We are the solutions.
