I Don’t like the new KIA logo

[Zaedock]

I like it, but it would have been better to slightly separate the letters so it isn't Russian.

 

[skyactiv]

Is this an international logo or just for certain markets?

 

[TheLawnRanger]

KN?

Old one was bad, new one was bad. Old one needed to be changed, new one was a poor replacement. My wife says it looks like "KN".

 

[dareo]

NIN KN KIA. Its not the greatest looking logo but who cares? Its just mini van.

K&И

You guys made me do this:

 

[earlyre]

if you own one of the "affected" vehicles, and the badge bothers you that much... there are folks all over ebay and etsy who will make you decals to go over it with what ever logo you want.... My Cmax is Sporting Autobot Decals over all the exterior ford emblems...even the Center caps.

in fact, here's the guy i got mine from:

DARKSIDE RACING ART

FORD OVERLAY EMBLEM DECALS, FORD F150 DECALS, FORD CUSTOM OVERLAY EMBLEM DECALS. FORD EMBLEMS, FORD CUSTOM EMBLEMS

www.darksideracingart.com

it's fun some times, seing people walking around the car trying to figure out "what is that? i don't recognize the logo?"

Looks like the latest meeting of the Pristine Lawn Preservation Society has convened.

Emblems come off easily. Jettison the KIA badge and replace it with one of these. Instant karma;

I bet somewhere deep in the heart of the ghetto, this is definitely mainstream haha!

 

[CharBaby]

Doubtful if KIA gives a rat's behind what we think.

Regardless what I think, we'll see what the public thinks in the future.

 

[Dorian]

I hate it as well.

It looks like they had a contest of high school students in graphic design make it, and vote among themselves.

Not a complement. It absolutely ruins the new Telluride. Still, I don't understand the obsession of the K emblem from overseas either. It doesn't change the fact that it is still a KIA.

 

[53' Stude]

I wasn’t fond of the previous logo and IMO, KIA made a not so good looking logo, truly ugly.

Opinions?

Yeah, the new logo is hideous dunno what KIA was thinking

 

[CharBaby]

The ones that I've seen look like cheap "glow in the dark" plastic lettering slapped on the vehicle. No real placard / emblem as with the previous KIA logo. IMO, KIA deserves better.

The name, "KIA" just doesn't have a good sound to it here in the states but I love their vehicles. Not only to look at but to drive as well.

 

[CharBaby]

It sounds like…K-K-K-K-K - KIA.
Most MFG’s have decent sounding names. And of course there are the really nice/elaborate sounding names that roll off the tong better than others.

LINCOLN
MERCEDES
AMC
BMW
GMC
TESLA
SATURN
CHRYSLER
AUDI
CADILLAC
JAGUAR
LEXUS
INFINITY
MERCURY
ALFA ROMEO
Then there are the, “we got used to” sounding names such as:
FORD
FIAT
PLYMOUTH
DODGE
HYUNDAI
HONDA
TOYOTA
MAZDA
NISSAN
CHEVROLET
BUICK
PONTIAC
OLDSMOBILE(I wish they would have just called it OLDS).

Then there’s KIA
Or how’bout Tata

What are some of your favorite or least favorite name plates?

 

[zzyzzx]

Is it 4X larger than the old one, as per what's been happening lately?

 

[aquariuscsm]

I always hated the original logo. It just looked cheap and ghetto.

 

[aquariuscsm]

Is it 4X larger than the old one, as per what's been happening lately?

These HUGE cartoonish emblems and grilles seriously need to go away. I wonder if it’s because all cars now look the same, and that huge brand emblem has to be seen to be able to identify the particular brand?

 

[Vercingetorix]

Should be K.I.A.

 

[aquariuscsm]

Maybe they should write it in cursive like Cadillac haha.
