Re: copyright
A slogan is not subject matter for copyright. If your slogan is in a unique font or design, the depiction may be protected on a limited basis but not the words. Slogans like "Just Do It" are protected by trademark and you may be able to obtain a trademark for the slogan if it is applied to goods (e.g., apparel) but that is a different and more expensive proposition than a copyright.
