Description

Mini is a British automotive brand that traces its roots back to 1959 when the original Mini Cooper was launched by the British Motor Corporation. The compact and economical design of the Mini made it an iconic and influential vehicle in automotive history. Over the years, the brand underwent changes in ownership, eventually becoming a part of the BMW Group. The first trademark registered for the Mini brand was on May 2, 1959. The trademark was for the distinctive winged Mini logo, featuring the word "Mini" in capital letters surrounded by stylized wings. This logo became synonymous with the brand and has been an integral part of Mini's identity.
