Kia Motors Corporation Trademarks New corporate logo

Uncategorized 0 Comments

  • Kia Motors’ trademark application is pending in Korea.
  • Kia Motor India told us that nothing on the new corporate identity has been decided.
  • The new logo has been used on recent Kia concept cars.

Kia Motors Corporation could soon formalize its change of logo. Trademark applications dated November 26 are pending with the Korea Intellectual Property Rights Information Service (KIPRIS) for the new logo. We saw this logo on the Imagine concept of the 2019 Geneva Motor Show as well as on the Futuron concept. Kia’s decision to make the logo official indicates the possibility that we will see it on future Kia cars. However, a spokesperson for Kia Motors India told us that the company has yet to embrace a new corporate identity (CI) design.

The spokesperson said: “Kia has always explored different ways to improve its brand image, but currently nothing has been decided on a renewed IC. Any changes to the CI are also reflected on the company’s global website. Changes may follow registrations of new company brands.

Kia has used the same logo for most of its cars since 2004, with the exception of the Korea-Spec Stinger sports sedan and the Mojave SUV. However, recent concept vehicles from Kia have had an illuminated and styled “KIA” without the oval. The trademark applications are for a red and black logo that will likely be used on paper for press releases and possibly other documents.

The logos of the car manufacturers are of little importance to us as journalists. For most consumers, they make as much of a difference as the label on a shirt. But for car manufacturers, the badge represents their entire journey from their creation to the present day. A badge is not just a brand, but a living reflection of the past.

The Kia logo we see today dates back to 1994. It was a time when Kia had just entered the United States after decades of producing and exporting small Fords and Mazdas out of South Korea. Kia’s name literally means “out of Asia”. Expanding operations to other businesses was a goal from the start. It is the 8th largest automaker in the world and sells cars in 172 countries. We can say that Kia has arrived now.

The logo change makes sense for Kia, as its concept vehicles are a departure. The shift from conventional combustion and hybrid cars to electric vehicles requires a major overhaul. In addition to building cars from scratch, Kia has also given them unique abilities. On the one hand, the Futuron and Imagine concepts respond to touches and gestures. Hoping to see the new logo on the Kias production soon.

TWO hotels and a nursing home in Bacolod City were closed by the municipal government on Friday, December 29 for operating without an operating license.

“Our focus is on the security compliance of their clients and clients which was required by the Bureau of Fire Protection (BFP) and the Office of the Building Official (OBO),” he added.

The Permits and Licenses Division and BFP have recommended the closure of these commercial establishments for having committed certain offenses.

“We have ordered the closure of these business establishments and we have issued security measures for their corrections,” Bayatan said.

He said business establishments would have to comply with the requirements first, so that they can operate again.

“This is an ongoing way of doing it and after that we will go to the pensions to inspect their safety compliance,” he added.

Both business establishments violated Article 67 of Municipal Ordinance 565 or the revised tax code of the city of Bacolod.

On November 26, the fire destroyed the Java Pension House, a former Bascon hotel, where six people, including the owner of the retirement home and members of his family, were killed.

THE CITY OF BACOLOD: Two of the three suspects, who allegedly started a fire at the Java nursing home along Gonzaga Street in Bacolod town last Tuesday, were arrested in joint operations by the town’s Police Station 1 (PS1) and the Murcia municipal police station.

Police identified the two suspects as Rodolfo Inson Jr., from Bacolod City and Venancio Valeriano, a resident of Barangay Amayco, in the city of Murcia.

The third suspect, meanwhile, has yet to be identified by police, although an operation has been launched by police at the time of publication.

Major Jovil Sedel, commander of PS1, said he managed to identify the suspects after interviewing several witnesses, who then positively identified Valeriano through the thug galleries at the station.

The police commander added that Valeriano had a history of theft and gambling in both the PS1 police and the Murcia police, while Inson also had a previous case of theft at the police station. 6.

Sedel said Inson’s theft cases occurred while he was still the PS6 commander.

He immediately coordinated with Murcia’s municipal police station to locate Valeriano, as the suspect allegedly jumped from place to place.

The initial operation to capture Valeriano was also difficult as the barangay (village) where he lives was in the mountainous part of town.

Valeriano was finally arrested on Saturday, alongside Inson who was arrested in Bacolod City.

The suspects were then brought to PS1, where they were interviewed by police and arson investigators from the Bureau of Fire Protection.

Sedel said the suspects said they were trying to steal a motorcycle helmet by using a lighter and burning the strap in order to remove it.

The suspects then brought the helmet to the Burgos public market area where they sold it for P150.

They said they were unaware that their action caused the motorcycle to set on fire and only found out when they heard an explosion.

“The suspects then had breakfast and even returned to the crime scene later,” Sedel said.

He added that they would file arson charges today with charges of multiple homicides and multiple physical injuries against the suspects.

At dawn on Tuesday, the Java Pension House was devastated by a fire, killing property owner Christopher Java, her 12-year-old son Miguel and mother Magdalena, 70, and housekeeper Ronalyn Dacallo, 44. Years.

Arnold Felomino, the receptionist of the retirement home, was also killed in the fire; and Arniel Bajenting, a hardware salesman.
