You'll need to do a trademark search or hire someone to do it for you to make sure it's eligible and not already in use. Once you know it's clear, you fill out an application and pay your fee. You can start using the pending mark right away; you'll receive an official letter when your trademark is approved and then you can use the register mark.

The United States Patent and Trademark Office requires that the slogan be identified with the product or service so that the consuming public, upon hearing the slogan, relates it to the particular product or service. This requirement means that the slogan has developed what the law refers to as a secondary meaning. Good examples of this type of slogan are Just Do It (Nike) and Finger Lickin Good (KFC).

The more generic a term is, the less protection you're likely to get when others want to use it. You may not even get the trademark
