We intend to investigate the metalogical property of omitting types for a wide variety of quantifier logics (that can also be seen as multimodal logics upon identifying existential quantifiers with modalities syntactically and semantically) exhibiting the essence of its abstract algebraic facet, namely, atom-canonicity, the last reflecting a well known persistence propery in modal logic. In the spirit of universal logic , with this algebraic abstraction at hand, the omitting types theorem OTT will be studied for various reducts extensions and variants (possibly allowing formulas of infinite length) of first order logic. Our investigatons are algebraic, addressing (non) atom canoicity of varieties of algebra of relations. In the course of our investigations, both negative and positive results will be presented. For example, we show that for any countable theory $L_n$ theory $T$ that has quantifier elimination $< 2^{omega}$ many non-principal complete types can be omitted. Furthermore, the maximality (completeness) condition, if eliminated, leads to an independent statement from $sf ZFC$ implied by Martins axiom. $sf OTT$s are approached for other algebraizable (in the classical Blok-Pigozzi sense) reformulations or/ a
