Below is an example submission for your reference (please excuse my poor design skill ) …
Tagline: Test Smart, Ship Faster
The tagline expresses how Katalon enables individuals and teams of all sizes to test more efficiently thanks to smart features and built-in AI features. It also reflects the many testers’ goal of optimizing testing processes while maintaining a high standard of user experiences for end users.
As for the visual, typical motif such as </> were used to highlight the technical aspect of testing, while the rocket symbolizes speed.
Above is only an example on what you can submit. Please don’t copy or reuse this example.
The example above was done using Canva.com. Canva is an easy-to-use online design tool which you can use to quickly whip up visual designs, from presentation slides, social media banners, and more.
Aside from Canva, feel free to use other tools or methods i.e. Google Slides, Draw IO, etc. Anything to get your ideas across.
I just created my first design! More swag designs are on the way—please vote for your designs!
Tag line - Live for tomorrow, automate today
Explanation - “Live for tomorrow, automate today” means taking proactive steps in automation now to ensure a smoother and more efficient future. It highlights the importance of acting today to benefit tomorrow.

Explanation - The tagline “Live, breathe, automate” says a deep commitment to automation, suggesting that it’s an integral part of one’s life and work. “Live” signifies making automation a core focus in everything you do, while “breathe” emphasizes that automation is as natural and essential as breathing. The tag line highlights the idea of fully immersing oneself in the world of automation.
Tag line: zero bugs given
“zero bugs given” captures the essence of automation testing: a confident state where bugs are eliminated before they can impact users. This slogan celebrates the power of automated scripts, allowing you to focus on innovation rather than troubleshooting. It embodies a playful yet strong mindset in Quality Assurance, turning the fear of bugs into a thing of the past.
The tagline ‘Automate with Precision’ emphasizes the importance of accuracy and reliability in automated testing. It highlights the capability of Katalon’s tools to deliver precise and efficient testing solutions."
Explanation- Just like in the current real world scenario, the above if else statement (tag line) explains that —> If you automate quality is assured, else ( with no condition written mean anything can happen). So else is blank.
Tag line: Future of AI-driven testing “Future of AI-driven testing” emphasizes AI’s transformative impact on software testing, automating complex scenarios, reducing errors, and speeding up development. AI-driven systems will predict defects, optimize coverage, and adapt to changes, making testing more scalable and efficient. The golden unicorn symbolizes the rarity and innovation of AI-driven testing, highlighting its superior, cutting-edge nature in the field.
