Using English Homophones in Slogan Writting

Two words are homophones if they are pronounced the same way but differ in meaning or spelling or both (e.g. bare and bear). Can be used cleverly to create interesting slogans.For example, a sentence completed (that won a contest organized by Gillette) from the question "Why do you want to test pilot Gillette MACH 3…" was: When the Mach 3 takes to the 'hair', it's as if your beard was never thereNotice the use of word hair which sounds like air.More homophones:
