Most liked posts in thread: Why I don't like the MINI logo.

Is that because you have a vested interest in S 'n S and the MINI logo is causing confusion for your customers who think they can get their oil changed or because it confused you? The MINI logo is just a hair over 50 years old, not quite as old as S 'n S so if one wants to take on the other for infringement, it could be entertaining at best.

 

Why I don't like the S&S logo....

Back at ya.....

 

Seems like Bentley, Morgan & Indy could well knock on MINI's door.

Nice signature farkus.

 

It's a trend...

 

Ha.... But why would they name a Mini after a town in Texas, that's what I can't figure out?

 

Huh, who knew.....
Named after a couple a Texas British car dealers....

 

Oh Oh.....
BMW / MINI corporate lawyers are suiting up and will be knocking on those doors with cease and desist orders shortly......

 

Better yet Steak-burger and shake orders!:donut1:

 

1964 Austin Mini Cooper....
Maybe the beginning of the wing motif?

 

I'm sure the MINI badge is a BMW invention - they've talked some BS about the centre circle being the Mini speedo. However there is more than a bit of Austin-Healey Sprite in the Mini badge's DNA.

 

The wings (in one fashion or another) have been commonplace for decades. I like em!

Cheers... :beer

 

I'd like some of those new logos on my MINI, sweet.... :drool :smilewinkgrin:

 

Not sure how far the wing logo goes back. I remember starting to see them on Mini's in the early 90's or when Rover took them over. I'm old so I'm most likely wrong about that.

 

You are good Chuck! Were you a sleuth in a former life?

 

:cornut: I suppose because Stephen F Austin and Dad Moses Austin's(founding fathers of the Austin Colony and the Republic of Texas) ancestor's and name came from Jolly Old England and some of the ancestors stayed in England to start a Car Company. They came to the Virginia Colony and then to Spanish Missouri before coming to Spanish then Mexican Texas.
