"This is the first type of sculpture anyone with access to a CNC will make- no mystery or challenge to the style. I don't see anything particularly novel or interesting here."

"The fact that it's so different from the old logo- even to the point of being unrecognizable- is exactly the point. In a year or two, anyone who who cares will know exactly what this logo means. In the meantime they are producing some really desirable cars. The Telluride and EV6 are both really good-looking and popular, and the logo fits them great. I think it's going to help Kia redefine their brand. I don't see this 'study' or the google results (a fraction of a percentage of searches for Kia) as damning at all.Try asking people in 1990 what the Toyota logo spells. "Oo?" "Y?" "OY?""

"It's all politics, buddy. Even your own article on this page last year... Your six rules of thumb were specifically catering to the current hierarchy and structures of power. What's not political about that? I guess it's easy to be triggered by red and blue dots lately, but this reaction is sincerely embarrassing."
