Serious slogans are even more inane than joke ones - a pointless, unnecessary "because we have to have one" creation. (Draw your own parallels there.) A more honest suggestion would be something along the lines of: "Europe, thanks to hundreds of years of organic growth, mutual confrontation, internal reconciliation and trial-and-error we were allowed to reach our own generally satisfactory equilibrium". Snappy. The EU - like Europe, but more!
