Okay, so, I need help finding a commercial or brand that uses the slogan Often Imitated, Never Duplicated  (or something equally synonymous). I have scoured the internet for hours, including other forums and even a "slogan database", all to no avail. 

If anyone has any idea what it might be for, just let me know. Soon. 

The band Kiss does that for the opening of all their concerts or performances.

A google search says it is copywritten by a company called Westside Barbell.

 Sorry none of these answers are of any help.

It's okay, crabby, you're at least giving some answers.

the first stop in my searching came up with the following forum conversation:

: Often imitated, never duplicated.

: A friend asked me if I'd ever heard this slogan, and of course I had. But then he asked what company or product used it, and I was stumped. I thought it might be Bulova Watch Company but an on-line search proved fruitless. Does anybody know what company first used this slogan? Is it even an advertising slogan at all? Thanks!

I have found "often imitated (but) never duplicated" used in a lot of different ad copy back to the 1920's but it doesn't seem to have been a trademarked slogan exclusive to one product or company as far as I have found. For example in 1928, I found ads for an English tailor and Blue Ribbon malt extract using the words in the copy of their ads.

The other searches pretty much back up the idea that it is an often used phrase in advertising, and I'm pretty sure it's been used by more than one entertainment journalist or emcee when referring to some performer or another. I have a feeling that you're not going to hit on the "bingo!" moment you're looking to find.

Oh, it's Don Knotts!

Here's a site that uses the slogan for their sandwitch

They say that sandwich starts with bread... then they don't say anything else! What else is on the sandwich? Of course bread, but what else? WHAT ELSE?

So, it's pretty much frequently duplicated, as slogans go.

Yes, but never imatated. 

That would make this statement a complete lie!
