I think he's talking about a book.

How come ZU's slogan doesn't include Cody?

All the Cody you need.

No it wasn't, It was all the Cody you need until we had to change it because we would have gotten arrested, why couldn't the police see Cody's awesomeness?

We're not supposed to discuss the whole Cody thing.

In all seriousness, let's look at this from a marketing perspective.

"All the Zelda Info You Need" It gives people the general message of the website and what this site is here for. It isn't long-winded and needlessly carries along with other useless words; each word has a direct impact to the slogan (i.e., it's short and to the point). The rhythm and pattern of the words fits well with the slogan as a whole. It's memorable -- when people think Zelda and Zelda info, they'll be thinking Zelda Universe.

Adding "and More" creates negative effects. While it doesn't necessarily have a negative impact on the rhythm and pattern of the slogan, it does create unnecessary wording. It confuses people and leaves unnecessary pondering questions. What's the "More"? Do we do more than just Zelda? Is Zelda not our main focus? When creating a slogan, you never want to leave people questioning about anything for your business. It just isn't quite as memorable as "All the Zelda Info You Need".

Marketing plays an important part in any slogan. You have to take into account what each and every word does for the slogan and how it effects people's reactions to it. You may think I'm just being needlessly serious about this, but this is how the business world works.

And Xeno just explained why that would backfire.

i agree 'and more' shows ZU has one of the biggest amounts of knowledge about zelda in the world (or the universe).

I don't think you read my post.

The current slogan "All the Zelda Info You Need" doesn't imply that people need our huge selection of Zelda information. It's saying that if people are looking for Zelda information, we've everything you need right here at Zelda Universe.
