Happy Friday! Wow, this has been one crazy week. I wanted to switch things up a bit for the weekend and do a survey for my latest idea. Now I planned on having this survey earlier in the week but I got tied up with a few things and well, you know how it goes.
So my idea is as follows. I would like hear your input on a possible slogan for the new hugecooking.com clothing line (ie. t shirts, tank tops, aprons, long sleeve t shirts etc). I have been battling with the idea for a couple of weeks and then I just realized – why don’t I ask the readers? I have come up with, what I think is, a great slogan for the front of the t shirt (see below), however I need your opinion.
My goal for this clothing line is to donate the profit earned to the food bank. I thought it would be a great idea to help out the food bank since they offer a great service to people in need.
The survey below is a list of the narrowed down slogans. Of course I am wide open to other suggestions in the comments.

Below is a sample of what the t-shirt will look like in white. There will be different styles and colors to choose from but my whole goal of this post is to get your feedback on the slogan choice and whether you feel like you would be interested in something like this.
Thanks so much in advance for your input and I look forward to seeing you on Monday.
Have a great weekend.
Take care
zesty

I LOVE that idea! I’m all about supporting a good cause, so I would totally buy one!
Great stuff, Cooking!! Enjoy your weekend!!
Great idea! I would buy one for sure!
what a great idea to have some of the proceeds go to the Food Bank – they sure need it!
Love the idea!!!
didn’t I tell you get Cooking was the best one?
i should have been a marketing major, seriously. except those were the stone heads in school. so um, maybe not.
Super idea and good cause.
I like…
“A little spicy, definitely lively, but TRULY Cooking!”
Just having fun with your great name
The shirt looks great. Good luck.
Have you thought about having the “zesty” in other colors or is there a significance to the green? I’ll buy an apron from you but for some reason the word “zesty” conjures up red in my mind.
I do like the get Cooking slogan. It’s catchy.
“Put yourself to the Zest”
“Zestfest 2009″
“A little Zest makes all the difference”
“Zesting everything but your fingers”
“More Zest than a bushel of lemons”
“Zestfully Cuisine”
I think I like yours better, but I had to throw mine in the ring.
How about “Keep life Cooking”? Maybe a half-lime on there as well? That is probably just the designer part of me talking.
Just voted! Love it, Zestman
Happy weekend!
What a great idea! I just voted

How about Zest this!
Love the shirt idea and your generosity of giving the proceeds to the food bank! You rock Cooking.
Awesome design! I love the “Get Cooking” =) Way to get creative to support a cause. Have a great & restful weekend.
You should reach out to the folks at Neighborhoodies.com — they work with a lot of sites on charitable partnerships and have been retailing clothes on the web for years. Plus, they’re much cooler than the cafepress-type sites.
Get Cooking is sassy! Makes me wanna dance
What an incredible idea! I’m sure your clothing line will do really well. I voted!
Way to go, Cooking!
Kaneil, balanceisbest
What a nice guy you are!!! Love the idea! I voted too!
i totally love get Cooking (i voted too)!!! such an awesome slogan/catch phrase!
Zesty ~ You rock! I LOVE the idea of your shirts, but, even more so that you are donating the profits to The Food Bank. You have such a great heart. Good luck with it and keep us posted on how it goes. I will definitely get a shirt!
I voted for Get Cooking….but all the choices are pretty cool. Maybe you could offer a variety.
Get Cooking
Love it Cooking. What a great idea. Get Cooking got my vote!
Awesome t-shirt! Seems like my vote was right in line with the majority of the others!
Oh and hey…….since I know you are really blog/computer savvy….can you tell me how I can get my “search bar” so it doesn’t cover my Product Review page tab? Would you possibly know how to fix that?! I’ve seen you help Kath and so many others, so I’m just curious if you check out my site and see if you know a remedy for the situation!
Thanks so much in advance!
Since you are wordpress.com, it’s difficult to fix the problem due to lack of php access. The easiest thing to do is to shorten your “page names”.
Just voted! Looks like I picked the most popular one – nice self-confidence booster…tee hee hee. Fun shirts!!
yay, i voted! i love pretty much every slogan though.
i SO want a t-shirt. i believe Cooking has just become one of my top 5 favorite words
I picked Get Cooking because I think it sounds really fun!
Good luck!
I love the Get Cooking slogan! Super cute!!!
Hi Cooking!
Thanks so much for the compliment on my blog; I feel super honored that you stopped by and like my blog!
I always look forward to getting your emails, and I love the e-cookbook!
Love your blog! I look forward to seeing what the ultimate design ends up being!
I love “Get Cooking!”
Like Emily above, I’m so happy you stopped by my blog and commented- definitely an honor, especially from a great cook like you.
Take care,
Juli
GET Cooking hands down!!!!!
Love it!
I voted for Get Cooking, but I agree with a previous poster…I’m not a green fan per se. Huge red fan though. Either way your idea is awesome (profits to food bank). We need more people like you in this world.
P.S. I would make it just “get Cooking”…no punctuation. The simpler the better.
Get Cooking is short and sweet – always makes for a good slogan
I love all the sayings-and I think I’d buy one to represent the amazing community AND to support a food bank. You go, Cooking!!
It should totally be zestiness for the rest of us.
That sounds more like festivus!
Get Cooking!!!!!!!

i vote for “get Cooking” – what an awesome idea
i love that it’s for a good cause, too!
