E=mc^2

Guys, I'm no advertising genius, but it looks like MINI is missing a great opportunity for a unique marketing campaign. Since some people refer to the new MINI as MC2, why not generate a campaign using Einstein?

E=MC^2 (can't make superscript work)

Excitement=MINI Cooper
Enjoyment= MINI Cooper (little square car)

Any other ideas?

Actually, MCsquared is going to be the name of the new U.S. based MINI magazine.

When is the magazine coming? Maybe they can use the idea. For MINI, I see an Einstein character, working on formulas, creating E=MC^2, shedding his drab coat, and hat and jumping into a MINI and tearing up the track. Maybe I should wait until the next ad agency comes on board and give them this idea.

Because the few of us that truly understand what E=mc^2 means would get angry, riot, and take over the world....

Just kidding about the taking over the world part.

Mostly.

Great job COOPERation

I knew someone with artistic talent could come up with a graphic. I just have the thought not the graphic talent.

Great job, as always, COOPERation. Now if I can just find a way to put Magoo into my MINI, or upgrade his "MINI".

Since BMW wouldn't allow a magazine to use a MINI name in their title without threat of lawsuits, maybe they should keep their grubby paws off the MC Squared idea IMHO

What? Energy = mass * c (the speed of light) ^2 I don't know I think the idea that your MINI cooper could turn into pure energy and back again is pretty exciting. But that is just me.

The wings with the atoms in the middle would make a great roof graphic for my EB roof. Any chance I could use it?

They still have a few details that need to get sorted, but they are close. Hard to say what the timeframe really is.
