"Airline ticket office, Copenhagen:

As someone who's had the pleasure that is missing lugguage, I can confirm that this isn't the best slogan they could have gone for. :P That said, I'm guessing slogans don't often translate that well. You can always look into professional translation agencies but it's probably best to tailor your slogan for each company you're operating in.
That said, it'd be a miserable world without any humorous mistranslations. :P
