Kia ReBrand Competition

It seems everyone agrees the "Kia" badge is horrible. However, I hate it when people complain and don't offer a solution. What's yours? Here is what I came up with using basic shapes and the drawing tool in Google Drive. I used the original Kia 1953 logo as inspiration, which is included below. FYI, the Korean "K" is not really a Kia logo, but it is an improvement.

KIA 1953...
Look like Mitsubishi...
The KIA-Plum looks good on the Stinger.
A round Logo does not fit on this flat car...

Really? I don't want a BMW, but I think that type of logo would be a huge improvement over the elongated oval used currently. Agreed on the 1953 Mitsubishi, I wonder if the used the same graphic artist way back then

I'm not crazy about the one on the top left but the rest look pretty good. The thing is - they're all too similar for me to make a decision...

I'm planning having a custom etched badge with my initials in a similar style. KD

Now that's an interesting idea. Welcome aboard! And thank you for signing up...

I like that. Almost anything beats Killed In Action.

LOL Admin, the one in the top left is KIA's actual logo from 1953. I tried to make something old new again. Thus the use of hexagon's and the flipped gears for all the ones that look similar. My point isn't really to have folks vote on my options, but to see what types of ideas others have.

I was hoping for something a little more like the Karma Revero badge for my Stinger--each individually hand painted and enticingly mysterious.

I put the Brenthon badges on my optima.

Yeah, I've seen that one as well. Not bad. I prefer the Lexus-looking "K" version but the Brenthon badges look good too...
