Those Other Kia Emblems

I've seen some Kias in the past (Optimas I think) with other emblems. They kind of look like a K.

Does anyone know what the story with them is?
And where can I buy them?

I think what you're seeing is the aftermarket 3.0 K emblem that people have added to their vehicles.

It's inspired by the K emblem that Kia puts on its vehicles that are sold in South Korea instead of using the text-based KIA emblem. Here's an interesting article on the different emblems. https://thenewswheel.com/behind-badge-kias-korean-logo-so-much-cooler/

I did a bit of digging and it appears you can order the badges for the Telluride online. Hopefully they fit correctly if you were to do a swap. https://www.k5optimastore.com/collections/kia-3-0-k-emblem-sets/products/telluride-emblem-sets
I came across this video the other day, it gives a thorough guide to removing and installing new badges on the Telluride.

IMO, the Kia K logo is played out and doesn't belong on the Telluride.

What does is the Brenthon badging as seen in this thread:

I admit the Brenthon logo is pretty cool, but I wouldn't replace the Telluride text with the Brenthon text, that's a bit too much for me.
To each their own. The Telluride name is unique and a good reason to keep it. I like it.
