OUR LOGO

Incepted in 2014, the Craig Senyk Initiatives logo showcases two C’s intertwining to become an S, displaying how two elements can come together to create something new: something stronger, something better. For us, this primarily alludes to how at Craig Senyk Initiatives, we bring together Canadian Country music and Community investment to create our Signature events.

Not only are the C and S in our logo Craig Senyk’s initials, but they also speak to other things we are passionate about at Craig Senyk Initiatives.
(C): Community, Canada, Country (music), Compassion, Culture
(S): Synergy, Sponsorship, Songwriters, Strength, Social Investment
