The Origins of Michelin’s Famous Mascot
The Michelin Man figure Man, known officially as Bibendum, is one of the world’s longest-standing brand mascots.
His unusual look made him stand out at trade fairs and in early print advertisements.
The Michelin Man’s First Look
The first sketches showed Bibendum holding a goblet filled with nails, glass, and stones — a bold way of saying Michelin tires could "drink up" road hazards.
It also gave the mascot a unique personality beyond simply being a tire figure.
Evolution Over the Decades
Over the decades, Bibendum’s design slimmed down, reflecting changes in tire technology and modern aesthetics.
His adaptability is why the figure has lasted over 130 years.
From Tires to Fine Dining
Today, when people hear "Michelin," they think of both performance on the road and excellence on the plate.
This keeps him in the spotlight, linking heritage with modern prestige.
The Michelin Man’s Relevance Today
In an era of digital marketing, few mascots have survived — but the Michelin Man remains iconic.
That’s why he still appears worldwide, from tire shops to lifestyle advertising.
Why Bibendum Will Keep Rolling
After more than 130 years, the Michelin Man remains a unique cultural icon.
As long as Michelin tires keep rolling and Michelin stars keep shining, Bibendum will remain part of the story.
