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

Ummmm...

I vote NO

Don’t ask me. I think the Amazon logo looks like a penis.

Somehow KIA makes me think of RV parks.

Funny, I thought the same thing.

They don't want you to know it's a KIA when you see it.

Old logo looked cheap, they're trying to up their styling, old logo does not go with the new vehicles. Sorry, no one who's buying a 50k+ Kia SUV or Stinger, wants it with the same logo that the KIAs from 10-15 years ago. The lower end cars still have the old logo.

Please tell me I'm not the only one, I liked the old one but the new one makes me crazy with that slanted A

Jeez I wish I had the time and motivated effort to be offended by something that has ZERO effect on me...

I think you posted this in the wrong forum thread..

Hacked off? Pitch your bitch!

Yet here you are taking the time and motivated effort to comment on my observation about a new logo I keep seeing.

Who said I was offended? Just making an observation and wondering if others see what I saw.

First time I saw it thought it was KN...

It is. It stands for their northern division, "Korea North". Cheaper to build there.

I have more to do with my life than fret about a car brand logo.

Who looks at logos anyways?

One they didn't use

I like the new logo. First time I saw it I didn’t realize it was a Kia and thought it was some new car company. It’s an improvement over their old logo for sure.

Everyone will get used to it. The old one looks......old. I'd like to see Hyundai update theirs. That's one crack-baby logo. Toyota's is okay I guess. I'm sure there's symbolism in the three ovals. Toyota is into symbolism.

Bit of trivia: does anyone know what the blue and white BMW logo represents? No googling and posting. Post only if you knew before I asked....

It’s an airplane propeller and the colors of the Bavarian flag. Right? I remember reading something about that when I was reading about old BMW motorcycles.

yessir, precisely. They made airplane engines and motorcycles before switching capacity to cars after the war when they were no longer allowed to build planes.

It's the Bavarian state colors. The prop thing came from an advertisement and stuck.

The new Kia logo looks worse than a Ruger PC Carbine.
