I kind of wish they used the kanji (Japanese version of a Chinese character) for Kizashi as an emblem. Suzuki used the character quite a bit with the concepts and the early marketing, but seemed to phase it out. I may be biased, but I always liked it and thought it should have made it on the car somehow. I know the Japanese name for the car was criticized but Westerners get character tattoos all the time. Hell, I've seen some tattooed on people upside down.
:facepalm:

This is the Kizashi character.

You can see it flash in this Australian commercial for the Kizashi at 0:20.

I've never understood how people can possibly leave them on. Holy smokes, we think differently. I debadge every car the first week I own it, has nothing to do with shame. They look like crap.

The only badges I hate are the ones that dealerships put on. I see a lot of these in the East Coast, but not so much on the West. The West Coast dealers use license plate frames to advertise. I hate both and remove anything related to the dealership. However, I keep all my factory badges.

Interesting how the right side of it looks like a 'k'.
