Ah right. KIA also uses the red color on their website and other places too.

They use the outlined logo in red on websites and ads, but not that red shield logo any longer

Depending on the literal Chinese/Japanese/Korean translations, Kia, in general, means "Bright" or "Arising out of Asia".

That is a pretty nice meaning. Never knew it meant that.

I agree completely with this M&M!

Where an excellent corporate identity can make a difference is in the perception of the company and/or their vehicles. This is precisely where the Kia brand needs all the help it can get.

The badge upgrade is not enough?

Well, you yourself, Jill, have been doing much of the posting in Car Chat on the Hyundai/Kia engine/vehicle-fires. One is not going to address that problem by simply redesigning a badge.

That stuff doesn’t really matter for the current right now buyer. People by on emotion and how they feel when they test drive it and the pressure of the dealer...this seals the deal....long term those recalls hurt....KIA has some good products out there and the Telluride is the showpiece of the dominion. A new logo helps push the brand.
(just my opinion of course)
