Remember the Michelin Man ? Was Voted the Most Iconic Logo Ever

I never 'Tyre' of stories like this, telling how an iconic figure was created and the meaning behind it

The Michelin Man was designed back in 1894 by the Michelin brothers and created from a stack of bicycle tyres with arms and legs added to form a figure

He was originally called Bibendum, which is ironic as it means 'time to drink' in Latin , not very apt when referring to tyres and driving

He also originally held up broken glass at one time , later deemed unsuitable concerning drink driving and accidents

He was voted the most iconic logo ever in 2000

The video in the article is also worth watching as it shows how he was designed
