Anyone seen this yet? I saw it in an article about a new sedan coming, the K8.

Haven't seem that yet but did you know that the current badge which is shitty looking is only in North America.In other countries overseas it is a special single designed K which looks similar to the Lexus symbol.You can order them for the Seltos.

Hehehe! After 20 years of Kia products, I've grown attached to "the current badge which is shitty looking." That said, if I had to choose between the 'outside North America' logo and the one I pictured earlier, well the stylized Lexus/Looser item might work as a doorstop or a bookmark

To each their own, eh? Be Safe! 😷

Yeah, I have been seeing the new logo. I think the current one is slightly cheesy in a way, but there are other times I think it looks kind of sharp. If given the choice, I would probably take KIA up on an offer to switch out my logos to the new one for free.

Otherwise, I think the “K” logo is probably the classiest, yet nobody would know what the car is..

I did the same -> put the "K" logos on my new Seltos SX and got people scratching their heads..LOL

Wow, those look much better than I anticipated! Do you have to remove the back panel to switch out the rear emblem? I think I recall someone saying that...

Doesn’t really look that great without the black oval and silver border. It kind of looks like it was just stuck on and rather cheap.

You are supposed to remove the panel but I didn't.I pried the badge away from the body enough to get a small screw driver behind the logo.I popped it outwards and it came off but it broke the two center pins off as well as one of the tabs at the top.I didn't want to be that careful and remove the inside cover as I knew I would never use the original badge again.

Gotcha! Yeah, I like how they look and would definitely order. I have a lease though, so not sure they would be OK with that. Probably not.

The new logo looks sick but I don't really like the badge itself, just the lettering. For reference, check out this image of the 2022 Kia Carnival with the new lettering but no badge
