Kia officially enters new era with fresh logo and slogan change from 'The Power to Surprise' to 'Movement that inspires'

Kia has revealed a fresh logo and a slogan change as it officially enters a new era where electrified powertrains and autonomous driving are likely to be dominant themes.

Signalling Kia’s “bold transformation and all-new brand purpose”, the logo represents the South Korean company’s “ambitions to establish a leadership position in the future mobility industry by revamping nearly all facets of its business”.

More literally, Kia says the logo resembles “a handwritten gesture”, with its “rhythmical, unbroken line” conveying its “commitment to bringing moments of inspiration, while its symmetry demonstrates confidence”.
