On behalf of all co-operatives in Singapore, the Singapore National Co-operative Federation (SNCF) has obtained permission and approval to use the International Year of Cooperative 2025 (IYC 2025) logo at future events.

About IYC 2025

Last year, the United Nations General Assembly declared 2025 as the International Year of Cooperatives.

With the theme "Cooperatives Build a Better World," this milestone highlights the lasting global impact of cooperatives as key solutions to today’s challenges.

• The 2025 International Year of Cooperatives logo may be used from November 2024 to November 2025. The logo may be used beyond November 2025 for reporting and in reference to publications about the 2025 International Year of Cooperatives.

• Other Disclaimers

Co-Branding with IYC Logo

Co-operatives should use the logo in the scenarios stated in the brand guide.

 

Please ensure there is successful spacing around the IYC logo when you are co-branding with the IYC logo.

Do not modify the colours on the logo, add or remove any elements onto or from the logo, and rearrange the elements. 

Logo Formats

The IYC logo comes with both horizontal and vertical formats. Which should you be using?

Using our SCM 100 logo as a reference, the horizontal format of the IYC logo may be a better fit, as its length aligns well with the SCM 100 logo for a more balanced visual composition.

For logos with varying heights, ensure they are center-aligned to maintain visual balance and consistency.
