I think the slash would have been better as well...

You mean KDM, right?

I'm not a huge fan of the KDM K logo, it looks like a weird Lexus logo at the right angles, but the Stinger script looks great.

A lot of Kia vehicles over here don't have the standard logo like in the US anyway.

The new one to me looks a bit more like Korean Hangul, not sure if that was intended or not.

I share your wonderment but, in addition, if I was an employee, my thought would be: "and how much money did they spend for somebody to come up with this new logo???"

"It did not really matter what we expected from life, but rather what life expected from us. We needed to stop asking about the meaning of life, and instead to think of ourselves as those who were being questioned by life – daily and hourly. Our answer must consist not in talk and meditation, but in right action and in right conduct. Life ultimately means taking the responsibility to find the right answer to its problems and to fulfill the tasks which it constantly sets for each individual." Viktor Frankl, Man's Search for Meaning, 1946.

Our Hospital system here got bought out by Prisma and they changed all the signs and every time I see one I think some executive's 11 year old daughter designed the logo.... and why would a system that is providing health care and promoting healing people have a logo with broken letters in it?

I dig the new logo. Every time I see a Telluride with the old logos, they make me cringe.

Lame unreadable text. Most Americans wont even know what the hell they are looking at. Not good.

Where is it written that brands must use text for their cars? **Laughs in BMW roundel**

They have always had some of the worst styling in the world. Hate the tiger nose.

That's highly subjective. The Kia Stinger is a better looking BMW Gran Coupe than a BMW Gran Coupe (saying this as someone who owned a 440XI Gran Coupe).

its horrid, and if thats the best they can do with a logo, I wonder what the best they can do with a car...

At first glance, I didn't like the new logo at all, but after looking at it a few times, it still looks like KIA to me. KIA makes decent cars. I don't know why they need to change the logo. I really don't think it'll sell more cars.
