Some pretty, great state slogan ideas –

From touting its inspirational magnificence to its status as "not Las Vegas," a few people gathering in Salt Lake City Monday had divergent notions about how to brand Utah to out-of-state tourists.

About 70 people attended Monday’s "branding" meeting — one of several scheduled throughout the state by the Office of Tourism — at the Salt Palace and proffered ideas for a tourism slogan.

Others aimed at derailing misperceptions or played on humor: "Less Weird Than You’ve Heard." "It’s Not What You Think." "What Happens Here Doesn’t Have to Stay Here."
