Ever happily use a product for years, then find the label says "New and Improved!!!" And when you try the 'new and improved' thing it's a bad-tasting nightmare?
Change it back. Period.

MichealD: Ever use a product since February, have it change in the middle if April, and then go on loving it for the rest of your life?

I really like the new logo. Clean and classy. Of course, I've never been a fan of the actual MINI logo, so it's not surprising to me that I'd like a change from the derivative MCO logo.

I also predict that this thread (and others like it) will end up siding heavily with the "I don't like it" side. As has been discussed often before, negative opinions and problems seem to generate more comment than positive. Oh well.

Good job (IMO) MCO!!

From our conversations I understand why you changed the Logo and I like the new one it's simple and looks good but as you can see you can't please everybody all the time. Just remember Ricky Nelson --You've got to please yourself.

You all do realize that the Mini Cooper logo has changed several times since 1957, right? I still like the car after they made all the changes. I for one think the new image looks much cleaner. It's less obtrusive on the site. Great job... Keep up the good work.

I like it ... like somebody said a few posts ago, I would always scroll down a few pages to hide the MINI logo when I was browsing at work :smile:

It looks kewl, but it doesn't fit the group.
So, therefore, I Don't like it as it leaves out not only the MCs, but also the CVTs. Or, best case, it slams us in the face everytime we have to see it. Can't you rotate the Mini Wings the same way and use it.

it's a clean crisp logo...kudos

does it speak to MINI at all? no...not mission specific...change MCO to SRT and you have a logo for the Dodge enthusiast site...

the MINI has such personality from many different angles...my two cents is to keep the clean approach with something that speaks to or is derived from the MINI alone

Sweet new logo! The old logo was too "one to one"--a direct translation from the existing mini logo. This stands on its own and is more unique to MCO!

I really like the new logo a lot. In a very subtle way it works for both cars.
Not for those of us with a CVT!!! :smile: :smile:

I like it a lot! It is very clean, crisp and contrary to popular belief, in my opinion not discript (it looks like a six speed when in fact it is a 5 speed).

As to the CVT owners, think of it as more of the spirit of driving, not a literal translation. It represents the fun we have in our beloved cars.

I would like it head on rather than tilted slightly though...

Randy

If my name was Henry Hyde or Horace Higgins and I was a gear shifter, I'd love it.

I highly doubt the logo creators intended to exclude anyone. It's all about MINI motoring and change is good!

I love it, but i think there's an issue with spacing/sizing (composition). Gotta play around with it before it sits right. Also a dash of color would be cool.

I don't like it. The logo should not be standard Cooper related, which it is by showing only 6 gear slots (5 + reverse). They need to change it to a model independant logo.

I like the logo, but I rarely spend much of my time looking at it, I'm mainly here to learn and read the threads. Change is hard for most folks, a shifter is a shifter whether 5 or 6 speed or auto. But, you left out the push button hydromatic folks too! Oh, that's right! there is no hydromatic anymore?
