I know it's quite an insignificant bit of enshittification but I still feel a bit miffed that every logo these days looks the same.

What is enshittification?
The phenomenon of online platforms gradually degrading the quality of their services, often by promoting advertisements and sponsored content, in order to increase profits. (Cory Doctorow, 2022, extracted from Wikitionary) source
The lifecycle of Big Internet
We discuss how predatory big tech platforms live and die by luring people in and then decaying for profit.
Embrace, extend and extinguish
We also discuss how naturally open technologies like the Fediverse can be susceptible to corporate takeovers, rugpulls and subsequent enshittification.

Kia went into a different direction but I still don't like it. First time I saw it I thought it was a car manufacturer I've never seen
Kia's Logo Is So Confusing That 30K People Google 'KN Car' Every Month - https://www.thedrive.com/news/kias-logo-is-so-confusing-that-30k-people-google-kn-car-every-month
With the slightly older logo, it's would read KIL, if people read Greek.
It looks like the Nine Inch Nails NIN to me... And whenever I see a Kia Telluride I start singing "Terrible Lie" but I substitute Telluride.
Wow that original logo is pretty cool. The new one just looks like "KN".
Aww I liked the change. I think it looks sporty😆
Had the same reaction to the newest logo but maybe that was the point from a marketing perspective.
