I dont wanna bitch or anything (well actualy sorry yes I do) and the changes to the forum are great and everything, but why are we using the BMW mini badge as the forum symbol? I mean respect to the binis but this forum is so much more of a mini forum. Hell poeee you just have a mini and I think all the poor p plater students who are the moderators drive minis too (or maybe a few 82 model rx7s and rusty CRXs too).

But anyway cant we have a mini specific symbol?

Um... this badge was used on the ROVER Minis before BMW got into the act. :wink:
Personally, I'd like to see a nice Morris Bull logo.. 8)

I think the wing badge would look great on Captain Jones, who flys for Qantas.... :lol:

But hey....at least it gets away from the default look that ausmini has had for yonks.....

I can also see the point of it allso but as Dr said it was used by Rover.
If were to use the bull...then the Clubby owners would complain :roll:

It's similar, but it is not a BINI badge, this is:

Image

Notice the the squashed up 'fat' look similar to the new car...

This is a rover cooper badge:

Image

Used on car's from about 89' on?

It's much better than nothing ;)

Since the mini came badged under so many companies during it's production run, it's going to be a little hard to keep everyone happy :roll:
