Dear Sirs,
I wolud like to make a slogan for our school. Is it good to say in English for example: "Antoine De Saint-Exupery- more opportunities!"?
Thanks in advance.
 
It's just OK to me - but "opportunties" for what?
 
This is exactly what i am asking about. Can it stay like that- just " more opportunities" without explanation.
 
It's OK, but many will wonder more than what/who/when.
 
Ok, and what if it has ellipsis at the end, for example " Antoine Exupery Language School- more opportunities..." is it still incomplete ?I mean is it good for a slogan or not ? Thank you very much for the answers.

This sounds like marketing quesiton, not a grammar question. It's not incorrect, as I see it, in everyday usage. However, grammatically speaking, I've always been taught to use the ellipsis solely to show ommission from a quotation. So, in this sense, you would not want to use it.
"To sum up, use ellipses sparingly to indicate hesitation or faltering speech or thoughts, and use them to shorten long quotations when necessary, but be sure you don’t change the meaning." - Grammar Girl
