Saw an RV with Alaska plates driving in Phoenix towing a full sized truck. Because I need to be able to haul plywood when I am snowbirding.

Are RVs so heavy that the difference in fuel economy when towing something like that is negligible? I can't wrap my head around how expensive that must be, but I guess these are generally retirees that somehow have a lot of money (or credit card debt?).

I saw something in a parking lot outside a grocery store in one of the worst parts of Portland today. It looked like a spaceship, which in this part of town made it stand out. But I noticed it had completely recessed door handles and absolutely no discernible brand name. All I could see was a tag that said EV6. Cool looking space car or not, shouldn't they make sure an idiot like myself knows what brand of car they are looking at?

It extremely obviously says "kia" and if you can't see that you are brain damaged. It can't possibly be an N because it's backwards! It's like the people who think Walt Disney's signature says Waly Gisnep even though that makes no goddamn sense. If you really can't handle the letterforms, just pretend it's an abstract symbol like the Chevrolet logo and you just have to learn what it means.

If the average car buyer looks at a car's logo and then has trouble figuring out where they go to buy the car then the logo is bad. The logo is bad. e: expensive cars that the average car buyer can't buy are exempted. Galler fucked around with this message at 07:17 on Feb 6, 2023 |

It's like the people who think Walt Disney's signature says Waly Gisnep even though that makes no goddamn sense. Lots of company logos include backward letters, and it is a natural thing to try when parsing a new, unknown logo. Ultimately, if your logo isn't being read the way you intended, you failed in its design. It's not the fault of the people for misreading it. They're parsing it based on what they've seen before and backwards letters have long been fair game. Or perhaps KIA is even more clever, in that the design is deliberabely ambiguous to get people arguing about it on the internet which garners free advertising and brand exposure for them.

Are you by any chance a graphic designer because you're doing a lot of caping for bad design. "...you just have to learn what it means..." But it's text?

The thing with Kia is that it says "KИ" and although i'm not russian, i keep reading it as 'Key'.

On that Kia - I genuinely thought it looked pretty loving cool, but stood there for a second looking for a recognizable logo. I could see the KN thing, but it looked so abstract I figured it was a new automaker. Anyone following the Ask/Tell carbuying thread knows I've been staring at advertisements for all models of cars for a month or two. I feel like a logo shouldn't be a challenge to recognize for a person doing that task. Had it not been for the EV6, I would not have been able to communicate anything about it past, "The door handles were completely flat."

When I first saw the new Kia logo I knew and recognized it was Kia's new logo. Then someone pointed out the "kn car" thing and now I can't see anything else. It's a bad logo.

I had to look it up, only just this moment realizing it's supposed to spell out KIA. I legitimately thought it was KN, like initials meaning "Kia N Class" or some bullshit.

Isn’t he KIA rebrand only a NA rebrand? Like everywhere else they still use the legible logo but for North America, they felt like trying out the Nine Inch Nails logo look. If the lettering had separation, it would be readable. If the K and I were also skewed/italicized to match the A, it would be readable. Seems like a design by committee thing where they just said “looks like future” and moved on… Speaking of KIA, I kinda want one of the new Niro Hybrids.

The Kia logo would be much better if it weren't a change from an already known and completely legible letterform logo to a different and less legible one. The logo itself in a vacuum is fine, like any other logo you know on sight that has no textual relationship to its brand (Chevrolet etc.). I think it looks pretty sharp. The logo as a change from the previous Kia logo is absolute trash and annihilates their brand identity. I think that's why it's so polarizing, both sides are correct and talking past each other. It's a "good logo" in a design sense, it's a "bad logo" in actually functioning as a logo for Kia.

Speaking of bad logos in the auto industry:  The new logo fades from light blue to darker blue and displays the GM letters in lowercase type, is intended to evoke “the clean skies of a zero-emissions future and the energy of the Ultium [battery] platform,” The originally GM logo was dated and boring for sure but why the already outdated web2.0 logo treatment? I absolutely love high on your own farts design consultancy garbage like this. Nothing beats that Pepsi logo design brief from years ago.

I heard a story on the radio about the new Kia logo. In 4D Branding Chess it’s apparently considered a success, because the fact that people are searching for “KN car” means people are interested. If they were obvious shitheaps people wouldn’t care what the brand was.
