No. Names, titles, slogans, and common words/phrases are not eligible for copyright protection. In many cases however they are registered as trademarks. A trademark is established by using it in trade. If you can establish that you were using the slogan first. you could sue McDonald's for damages - provided that you were using it for a similar type of business. For instance, for many year, Cadillac's ad's said "The Standard of the World". If you were marketing Eberhard Faber pencils and I were marketing french fries, we could each adopt "Standard of the World" as a slogan, because those three products are completely unrelated. I don't know which slogan of McDonald's you are referring to. You can do a search on it at the US Patent and Trademark website (WWW.USPTO.GOV) to see if it is registered in the area of commerce that you're interested in.
what is bhs' slogan
One might say that Nike made "Just do it" so powerful with the sheer volume of resources and exposure it dedicated to the slogan. Could they have succeeded as much by giving some other slogan similar exposure? Perhaps not, because the slogan is a very good fit for Nike. Observers say nothing reflects the company spirit more than the words "just do it." In fact, corporate legend says it was the Nike can-do attitude that led to the slogan.

Yes you can use a protected logo or slogan as a theme (with permission) but it has nothing to do with copyright.Names, titles, logos, slogans, and common words/phrases are not eligible for copyright protection. They are usually registered and protected as trademarks.
Usually a single clause is too short to qualify for copyright protection. If used in commerce, for example as a business slogan, it may be protected as a trademark.
The phrase itself is likely too short to qualify for copyright protection. If you plan to use it in business, for example as the name or slogan of a clothing line or record company, you could register it as a trademark.
Not sure about the copyright, but the last person who attempted to register a similar trademark in the US Trademark Office (related to restaurant services) wound up in litigation for over two years when Warner Brothers found out about it and ended up abandoning the application. Probably not, because slogans are not normally subject to copyright protection. However, it is a distinctive trademark slogan of a famous cartoon character, and almost any commercial use of the slogan that conflicts with the owner's rights is likely to result in unpleasantness.
Don't be EvilIt is the informal corporate motto (or slogan) of Google, originally suggested by Google employees Paul Buchheit and Amit Patel at a meeting..
Better? It is certainly "different". Copyright lasts for a fixed period. Trademark lasts as long as the owner continues to use it. You can have trademark rights on things that cannot be protected by copyright and vice versa.
