How does this sound ?

English Other
Hi
I'm trying to create a slogan. I was thinking about the sentence used for weddings, "for better or worse" as it's an association.
But the way I want to use it I think it doesn't work.
How does this sound :
"associated for the best"
Do you feel as a word was missing ?

Together we can make it work

Not sure - some more context would help. Without giving away the name of your client, could you tell us a little bit about which industry it is etc. That will be central to coming up with the right kind of wordplay and connotations.

In that you have to make a marriage work as a couple then perhaps it might do the job... but, like I say, more clues are needed.

Or you could have something like;

You and XXX(ie your client) - a perfect match

allied for the good of the association

there are many verbs that can be used in connection with UNITING SOMETHING IN A RELATIONSHIP, to wit
- affiliate, allied, bound, linked, joined, combined.
In the end, yes, I feel as if a word was missing ("if" was missing here!)
e.g. linked for the best achievement
bound for the best results, joined for the best possibilities etc. etc.
Hope this gives you some food for thought. Suerte.

Two is company, one is none

I would go a stp further and make it sound a bit more dramatic ' two is company, one is none'
Peer comment(s):
neutral Erika Pavelka (X) : I think this would leave potential clients rather confused...

Teamwork Breeds Perfection, Teaming Up for Perfection

Perfection thru teamwork, joint effort, unity, coordination, consensus -- Claudia, work on it from another angle: "associate for the best" has no energy in English.
