yes.

[marketing-]research, [marketing-]reasoning, [marketing-]rationality.

but: every community-member can present a slogan together with the right 
unbeatable rationales.

[of course things are not as easy as with the "singleton class" to "x 
class" rename, where a nearly absolute result can be expected.]

For the slogan, people should work-out the "requirements" first, like 
"should imply simplicity" "should imply efficiecy" etc.

And of course: the main topic of _this_ thread is the design, not the 
slogan.

So its not nice to write to much about the slogan, as the designers 
expect feedback to the design, which they must 'fish out' of the many 
off-topics, including mine which I finalize now.
