SynCo Commissions New Logo & Branding Campaign
Selenna Solange • YC125.05.24
XS-XAY, Syndicate - The Syndicate Coalition, comprised of the capsuleer alliances of Intaki-Business Logistics Union [I-BLU], Ishuk-Raata Enforcement Directive [I-RED], and Khimi Harar [LUMEN], has issued a unified branding campaign. While SynCo is a name that has collectively referred to different alliances during the more than decade-long span of time I-RED has operated in Syndicate, this most current iteration of SynCo has existed now for a little over three years. This version of SynCo has also seen drastically more cooperation and unity in terms of political, financial, and social fronts. Thus, the SynCo leadership has deemed it appropriate to commission an official branding campaign.

The result of the current branding campaign has yielded the official logo above. In the end, a design idea put forth by I-RED’s esteemed financial director, Julianni Avala, won out of the designs submitted. The orange-yellow flare of the star behind the “planet” emulates the orange hue of the sun at the center of the XS-XAY system - long deemed the capital system of SynCo. The formal treaty which united the three members of SynCo was drafted and signed in XS-XAY.
In an official unveiling of a formal SynCo logo to be used in various branding, SynCo officials released the following joint statement, “Three years ago a project grounded in trust, unity, and shared governance was started. It was an ambitious leap of faith - a bet that three groups of people from very different backgrounds could come together and collaborate to build each other up, and to build the area they share in prosperity. There have been trying times already, and there will certainly be trying times ahead, but through it all we all remain SynCo strong.”
The logo and other branding paraphernalia have begun making their way across a whole host of assets belonging to SynCo. Thus far, it seems like a strong tool to encourage more brand recognition and respect for the alliances of SynCo.

Hatakani Trade Winds Combine Officially Joins SynCo
Selenna Solange • YC125.05.05
Hatakani, The Citadel - In a shocking announcement, a new partnership was announced between the new and enigmatic entity known as Hatakani Trade Winds Combine [HAT] and SynCo. I-RCN has been covering for the last few months a number of power moves between HAT and I-RED, with the former orchestrating a number of significant trade deals with the veteran pro-State alliance. Rumors had been circulating for weeks now that HAT would eventually apply as a fully fledged member of SynCo, and they seem to have come to fruition.
“It is with great enthusiasm that SynCo welcomes our newest partner, the Hatakani Trade Winds Combine”, stated I-RED Director of Public Works Roirdan Bouchate. “HAT has shown excellent promise to deliver competent results to our shareholders, despite being a young organization. It is truly headed by some of the best executives the TNR Combine has to offer.”
Hatakani Trade Winds Combine is one of the newest capsuleer entities to spawn from the relatively recently formed TNR Combine faction of State politics - a megacorporate conglomerate consisting of the honorable Wiyrkomi Corporation, the venerable Hyasyoda Corporation, and the lauded Ishukone Corporation. Centerpoint of the alliance name is the system of Hatakani, where TNR Combine hosts a public meeting venue where executives from all three megacorporations meet to discuss matters which affect their bloc.
“The Ocean Trade Winds of Caldari folklore guide us towards the path of prosperity, or the path of doom”, commented I-RED Executor Alexandre Hinkelmann. “Naturally, we hope the spirits guide this new partnership between HAT and SynCo towards a continued path of increasing opportunity for all.”
Trading on the local stock markets seems to provide favorable approval of the new partnership between HAT and SynCo forces. Time will tell how the partnership will fare in the coming years.
