In terms of print, there's a number of ways to do that. A catch-phrase 
is one, but requires parsing and semantic analysis (brain time). Catchy 
names are apparently processed in a related but much less immediately 
taxing fashion; akin to facial recognition? Even if we don't "get it", 
there's often enough interest to turn the page back over ~ just like 
when you see a face you almost recognise, and a whole lot of dedicated 
effort goes into resolving that ~ sometimes for days <g>

An interesting logo, or anything pictorial that stands out from the 
background (such as a comic strip) are apparently much more noticable 
than catch-phrases. That's hardly surprising given that our predator 
eyes excel at isolating 'interest' from vast quantities of background noise.

p.s. I guess you didn't care much for "Get it on!" and "Amber" then? :)
