In the page templates, there is no "IF" statement for the site slogan so even if you uncheck it in the theme settings, it is going to show unless you comment out or delete from the template files. This should be corrected to Drupal best practice.

Hi,
You can remove site slogan by editing in "Site information" or using "If" statement too. Two ways all work.
Yes, I corrected it for Drupal best practices - added IF statement in the template. Might want to consider that in a future update to the theme... that is very standard to be able to use the tick box for those elements, in the Drupal core theme settings.
