New MINI Logo?

Hello everybody,

Did anyone else notice that the MINI logo is taped up on all the pictures floating around of the R56 MINI? Not only is it covered on the exterior body but also on the wheels and the steering wheel as well. Could they be changing the logo after this short of time?

Erik

My guess is no. I think it was just covered for the final reveal as a whole.

My guess is no as well... Maybe they changed the size of the logo and want to keep that covered until it is debuted officially.

I think all car manufacturers remove or hide all logos/brand names from pre-production test cars. Notice that the "Cooper S" and "Cooper logos are also removed from the R56 MINIs.
