Did You Know?

The Michelin Man, officially named Bibendum, was one of the first examples of a brand mascot used in advertising. Created in 1898 by the Michelin brothers, Édouard and André, Bibendum was initially depicted as a rather portly gentleman enjoying cigars and champagne. Over time, he slimmed down and adopted a more family-friendly image, but his enduring presence as a brand mascot speaks to the power of early advertising and the lasting impact of vintage design.
