The company X’s symbol is ‘Y’ also called the ‘X Man’ introduced in 1898 and is one of the world's oldest trademarks. André X apparently commissioned the creation of this figure after his brother, Édouard. The nickname Y comes from an early ad caption stating "Nunc est Y," a Latin phrase meaning "Now is the time to drink." The original Y wore glasses and smoked a cigar. Y made a brief guest appearance in the Asterix series in Asterix in Switzerland. Give X and Y.
X is michelin man. Y is Bibendum
