Well, this is more Advertising discussion, but while it might dilute the significance, it also broadens it's meaning. You can't have the tag line be a different font, that's ugly and stupid. You could do without the tag line, but then you're not really saying anything at all, which might be fine for a boot screen, but for anything more you probably want to avoid mixing fonts if the logo is central to the work.
