Switched out the emblems. Rear: Run dental floss behind the back of the emblem and use a little goo gone to loosen the adhesive. Clean with alcohol, put on new emblem. Front: use a Dremel or similar tool to cut (carefully) emblem into pieces. Take off each piece using needle nose pliers. Try not to mess up surface so your new emblem will adhere properly. When cutting, you don’t have to get all the way to the edge (1-2mm away should be enough to break off the piece). I’d recommend doing this on a day you plan to wash your car, as cutting it will leave a ton of dust and you’ll likely want to wash your car after.
Final result: I like the new emblems, but if they come out with aftermarket ones with the new Kia logo, i’ll probably switch these out, which should be easy. Flat black emblems on a glossy black car may not have been the best choice, but I’m only out like $35 so no biggie.
