    I agree and I like the logo, certainly when you see it in use.

    Again, it is only my view.

    what I meant was making the K taller interupts the flow - Boy has posted a very good example of that visual flow in use...as a logo [not type]

    I don't like that new logo at all. As others have stated earlier it looks like a KN to me, it doesn't say KIA as the earlier one did even without the horizontal part of the A.
    I think the best logo's work if they originate with text within the logo and maintain the same typeface throughout variations. Ford & CocaCola as examples. Even better logos have text and an image such that overtime the image alone can be used as a standalone logo. MacDonalds & Nike for example.

    The new Kia logo reminds me of the dreadful logo used for my Amazon credit card company, NewDay.

    I have no design training and spent about 30 minutes after dinner whilst nursing a brandy on this; so obviously better than a professional advertising agency

    Explaining the red dot symbolises something like the heart of the engine and adding $10,000 to the price of the logo.

    The letters reminded me of the Predator glyphs. Kia Predator sounds cool.
    It could be an electric car "Kia Predator, so quiet you'll never know it's there"

    One can even type the Predator version on a qwerty keyboard

    I'm emailing Kia. I might get a free car out of this.

    I like that, but it's not the same as the earlier one. The lengthened joins between the letters make it much more legible. And in my opinion a much better logo.
