Sama-Sama I-Angat ang Lahat chosen as Yona Kuromatoki Platform permanent slogan, 10th anniversary logo officially unveiled

We are excited to announce that "Sama-Sama I-Angat ang Lahat" (Uplift Everyone Together) has been chosen as the slogan for the Yona Kuromatoki Platform's tenth anniversary in 2024 - and in the successive years. The secondary phrase of the permanent slogan itself meanwhile will be revealed sometime around late December 2023 or early January next year, just when the new Pretty Cure season's title will come out and it has became a traditional norm for the platform since 2017. But we can assure that it has the words "extreme" and "decade."

The slogan was created shortly after the release of the 2022 year-end special Let Our Precious Moments Lead!, the very first under the banner of the platform's flagship podcast show, Yona Kuromatoki's Interactive Podcast, with the phrase "Goin', Flyin' Up to the Sky!" on December 31 of that year and it was revealed on the YKP Facebook page on the first few hours of January 1, 2023.

Therefore, after almost seven years of using different slogans and as we approach YKP's tenth anniversary, it's surely about time to use a permanent one that symbolizes true unity, inclusivity, universality, equality and celebrating pop culture diversity. Moreover, it's in my native language, Filipino, and not just a kinda crazy play and spin on the two iconic and infamous slogans of the last Philippines general elections in 2022.

As the Yona Kuromatoki Platform continues to steadily evolving over the years, transforming from a cosplay page to a multimedia platform thanks to YKIP and its All Axezz expanded content series, and the inclusion of the creator's Tumblr account, YouTube channel and blog aka Yona's Blog plus the creation of the podcast's Twitter/X account under the single roof, we believe using the same slogan will help and improve our brand even further.

Even though the now permanent slogan is in Filipino, we can assure our followers and supporters across this planet about what it means, to uplift everyone from all walks of life together, with the unconditional power of pop culture love and appreciation. Plus to sum up, it's also referring to our staunch stance for proper inclusivity, equality and accessibility to all, no matter the shape, size, gender or nationality.

With this announcement, we are going to unveil the YKP tenth anniversary logo and will use for all pubmats, cosplay cards, vlogs and physical promotional materials for the entire 2024. It's different compare to the fifth anniversary logo that we used in 2019 though, but these color schemes symbolize creative diversity in the pop culture world by all shapes and sizes. The font use in it is Cyber Shape 3D, which is also used for the upcoming YKIP season 4F. Under the commemorative logo will be the permanent and secondary phrased slogans, so we're working on the other font that we're gonna be using and expecting to reveal in the coming weeks as well.

Right now, we are looking for ways on how to promote the YKP tenth anniversary year as well as other activities to look forward to such as the yearly YKIP Live, various guestings and engagements. Stay tuned to our social accounts as we're about to kick off another fiesta on the platform together with my 15th cosplay anniversary!
