I think I would like it even simpler. Lose the sun and just have the evolution sequence. No words, no initals. Was the sun supposed to have a symbolic meaning?

Wouldn't that make us idol worshippers? Or would it be seen as praying for the MINI to start?

The evolution sequence is pretty good, but:

lose the sun
remove one of the "steps" (penultimate?)

Nice badge indeed!

Also, why are they going right-to-left?

Saturday afternoons are awesome:



jbrowland: I know you've been clamoring for checkerboard but it just doesn't work - trust me I tried.

In the near future we should think of consolidating these ideas, maybe having a poll? I'm sure there's somewhere to get magnets custom printed...

I LOVE the Darwin MINI!! HILARIOUS! And the last mock up by throughthedoors of MINI is my religion. My personal opinion is that I would like something that shows what I think in a funny way without being in your face. I also think the Spaghetti Monster is hysterical but that's already someone else's idea... probably can already buy that somewhere (and now I probably will! ).

Funny thread!

As in Buddhism or Hinduism? It makes me think of worshipers of the god RA.

Quote for the day ...

"Happiness is nonetheless true happiness because it must come to an end, nor do thought and love lose their value because they are not everlasting."

My favorite quote from Russel:

The whole problem with the world is that fools and fanatics are always
so certain of themselves, and wiser people so full of doubts.

So the human can get in the driver's side. Whether that is preferable depends on how you see it. Is it evolution to the point where one can drive a MINI? Or, is it that the MINI is the next species after homo sapiens?

Bottom one would be perfect for RHD MINI's! Maybe just a hint of the top of the steering wheel...

This is quite possibly the most amazing thing I've ever seen in my life.

As is the evolution idea.
Fantastic, fantastic, fantastic.

I love you guys.

That's a keeper. Here's hoping MINI's trademark lawyers don't monitor these threads. I may have to REbadge the boot with this.
