Yona Kuromatoki Platform Logo to Rebrand in January 2027

 

The current Yona Kuromatoki logo has been consistently used since 2017, the longest serving in the indie media entity's history

Happy new year, YKPers! Thank you for supporting me and the Yona Kuromatoki Platform for 2025 and the preceding years!

We would like to formally announce that the Yona Kuromatoki Platform logo will undergo a rebrand starting January 1, 2027. This move is to keep with the changing times for the global market while still maintaining our core values that the platform has been doing since its inception in 2014. Thus, the logos for Yona Kuromatoki's Interactive Podcast and the Yona Kuromatoki All Axezz online content series will also be rebranded, with the former will be started with the upcoming Anthology 6 season's second half next year.

During the one-year transition period, the permanent slogan, Sama-Sama I-Angat ang Lahat, will remain, and the 2026 secondary tagline, Building Bridges is the Answer!, will be the last under the current logo. The reveal of the new Yona Kuromatoki Platform logo will be slated this October to coincide with YKIP's sixth and my 17th cosplay anniversaries, yet the rebrand transition proper will be fully commenced by the new year of 2027 along with the new slogan, so kindly keep in touch to our socials in the coming weeks leading up to it.

For nearly a decade, the red, blue, and yellow colored mic, which represents the Philippines' three islands - Luzon, Visayas and Mindanao, has been synonymous with the current Yona Kuromatoki Platform, and throughout various changes beginning with its immediate predecessors: the Yona Kuromatoki Cosplay Page (2017-19) and the Yona Kuromatoki Page (2019-23). It also features in all but two year end specials since 2017, with the 2025 edition being the most recent, and the upcoming 2026 one will be its swan song, as well as being used for both YKIP and YK All Axezz online content series.

Even with the impending logo rebrand, your support and appreciation remain the same, and we'd like to extend your understanding and patience regarding the transition. In the meantime, let's make more memories by looking forward for the cons and ganaps that I'll be attending for the year, and please watch out for the 2026 Year Opener Video on the last week of this month, the first since 2019.

This is Yona Kuromatoki, maraming salamat po!
