Automaker logos are a fascinating part of car culture: a logo’s purpose is to represent a company and tell its story, being proudly displayed on every car it produces and sells. In the modern era, the predominant trend is for logos to be simple and minimalist, in keeping with the futuristic aesthetic preferred by automakers when it comes to design. Take Kia’s recent redesign, for example, which first appeared on the 2019 Imagine concept car and formally debuted in 2021, now adorning everything from the Seltos to the Telluride.
