Adds New Icon to Visual Identity Underscoring Private Blockchain Technology Platform
Focused on Risk Reduction, Confidentiality & Operational Efficiencies
September 13, 2022, NEW YORK, NY – Symbiont, Inc. a technology pioneer solving complex
global finance problems using enterprise blockchain solutions, announced today a brand
refresh to underscore its fintech leadership as one of the pioneers of enterprise blockchain.
The company unveiled a new visual identity introducing an icon to its logo highlighting its
proprietary technology platform, which focuses on risk reduction, confidentiality, and
operational efficiencies.
The brand refresh comes at a time of evolution and maturity of blockchain technology
within the financial services industry overall. For Symbiont specifically, the brand refresh
marks a new growth phase following the official launch of its smart-collateral product with
Vanguard and State Street in December of 2021 to bring post-trade workflow automation,
along with the expansion of its leadership, and an upcoming new release of its sophisticated
and private Assembly platform. Symbiont’s Assembly platform continues its evolution,
enhancing simplicity, flexibility, stability, and overall performance to maintain its innovation
status as the leading private enterprise blockchain platform for financial institutions.
Mark Smith, Co-Founder and CEO of Symbiont commented, “When my Co-Founders and I
created Symbiont the idea was to develop a technology company that would represent the
‘symbiotic’ relationship between new decentralized technology within traditional financial
markets and emerging tech. Eight years later, I’m delighted that we have successfully
created a distributed ledger blockchain and smart contract technology within our custom
permissioned technology platform, built with the purpose of fixing traditional capital
markets issues.”
“Today’s rollout of our new brand identity is a nod to our team and the Assembly platform
we created using risk-averse, secure fintech solutions to solve complex problems for banks,
asset-managers, and financial marketplaces. The Symbiont team of engineers and financial
services experts have been developing solutions to solve market problems in the data, posttrade,
and fixed income markets, with a goal of building the common market infrastructure
of the future. We are gaining traction and more than ever focused on accelerating our
smart collateral product adoption to automate back-office operations of private legal and
regulatory documents,” he added.
Silvia Davi, Chief Marketing & Communications Officer of Symbiont commented, “Symbiont
was an early visionary within the fintech community and one of the first to use blockchain
technology as a solution to replace antiquated systems and solve complex market
problems. Our brand refresh emphasizes our roots while introducing a new block icon to
our visual identity to underscore our focus on security, problem- solving, decentralization
and connectivity. Our CEO, CTO, myself and many other Symbiont team members were a
part of the electronification within financial services early on in our careers and today our
mission is to introduce a new phase of market infrastructure technology solutions to reduce
risk and costs in the back-office, post-trade operations.”
Chuck Ocheret, Chief Technology Officer of Symbiont said, “Our brand refresh aligns with the
next generation of Symbiont’s Assembly platform. This is our most advanced release to
date, continuing to raise the bar for innovation and technical excellence. The unique use of
‘io’ within the Symbiont name is meant to emphasize our computer science origins and the
concept of inputs/outputs.”
“We highlight the IO in the Symbiont logo in orange to represent creativity and the color
gray to highlight our market sophistication. It’s rewarding to be among the first fintech
companies to use innovations that have defined our legacy and left an indelible mark in the
industry. Symbiont has reinvented smart securities to create intelligent markets, as our
corporate motto suggests, and we are excited about broadening our market adoption in the
year ahead.” Silvia added.
