Really feel like its something to do with this https://www.rprepository.com/community/news/824 somehow ??? 
Y'know, I think you're right!
Ah YES! It's gotta be!
Quote:
The foundations of a mega-project have been laid in the form of an arcology, and already twomiles of jutting filament of shining nickel-alloy rise above the city and cast thin shadows, evenover the lower palaces to the south. The arcology is five miles in diameter. The lowest levels ofthe arcology are covered in domes, containing lush, green foliage, an experiment inself-regulating atmosphere, for a fully sealed and protected habitat. Unfortunately, furtherbuilding on the arcology has been paused, as the Bhombil have realized that they don’t have thetechnical expertise to construct it so large and still be self-sufficient. They hope that they willmake breakthroughs that allow further development in the near future, and have called on all ofthe other settlers of Auruta for help with materials and research.
In an effort to raise additional funds for construction, they have sold the name of it to half adozen corporations or other entities, and the arcology now bears the unfortunate name of the“Terran Banking Corp/Lattice Up Clasp/Glacier Step’s OPAR/Kruk Mining Industries/Smith’sSalvage/Material Science Clasp/Trifilibambillybore Architectural Studios” Arcology Project.

It may also be from the sample adventure where one of Glacier Step's AIs ("Ol' Parks and Rec") hosts a race to the north pole!

I think the sponsor is Ol' Parks and Rec, based on that acronym.
Oh, that's right!! That's gotta be it!
Congrats on solving this symbol! The answer was "Ol' Parks and Rec".
For those of you wondering how this answer could be arrived at, here's a quick explanation.
This was of course about the planet that we built together as a community last year, Auruta 90DX!
Clue 2 leads us to the TBCLUCGSOPARKMISSMSCTAS Arcology Project (Page 62 of the setting document) in Pik-pik-lacorum, where we learn that the Bhombil have started to build an arcology project so ambitious they don't actually have the technology to complete it; they just hope they will eventually have a scientific breakthrough that lets them get it done!
Clue 3 refers to the sponsor "Glacier Step’s OPAR." OPAR is an acronym for Ol' Parks and Rec, the AI in Glacier's step that is responsible for that city's Public Recreation and Morale department. We learn about Ol' Parks and Rec in the sample plot "Race to the Pole," which starts on page 73 of the document.
