MINI Emblem vs Bentley Emblem

Sorry if I'm posting in the wrong forum I have an 07 so I thought I would post here. I just noticed that the Bently emblem on thier cars is similar to the MINI emblem and vice versa. Just seems neat or is there a story behind the two.

Bentley looks like wings and MINI similar but without the detail.

It's because both car companies are owned by Steak 'n Shake!

Austin-Healey, Morgan, and even Chrysler, too...lots of automaker-logos feature wings. Must be some primal connection to flight/speed.

Because of the sand which is there.

You have them in Dallas??? Grrr. We had them in Houston back in the 80's, but the oil boom went bust so they melted away. They are a "must do" when we go back to our old hometown St. Louis. We have salivated for them for nearly 40 years!

We had one in Madison for maybe 2 years and it died...there was one further south in Janesville too (or maybe it was Beloit, I don't remember) and I think it's gone now too.

I don't think there are any in California :(
