yeah, I thought the same thing but to be honest this is more appropriate and makes more sense than the Michelin man ever did to me. I mean the Michelin man was all white and I for one never understood it other than whitewall tires, while it made sense and people remember it, it can go in the "StayPuft" marshmellow category as far as I concerned. good work here and very appropriate.

Wow, thanks for all the feedback. The current rendering of the M man is running foward I think? O and the Pillsbury Dough Boy too. I thought I'd add my chubby mascot to the mix! Illustrative logos (or when one breaks away from pure symbols) often envite different interperatations, I welcome them all.
LOL joder, we love it. Hey I did a balloon bear a while back that is similar in concept, Yours is unique and original and I think it's great I would not second guess anything here. Good job.

LM and Hind, thanks :), nice to read after one of those not-so-good design days.
@joder, good work! but same as the others, darn michelin is so recognizable.
@logomotive, Michelin Man is "the man" among logos. he's been around since 1898. can't knock an icon that's been working for other 100 years (granted,he's evolved). the Michelin store in my town actually has a wall that shows his evolution through time. pretty cool stuff if you ask me. here's good "article":http://money.cnn.com/magazines/fortune/fortune_archive/2005/09/19/8272906/index.htm about the Michelin Man; he rightfully deserves respect ;)
does'nt change my opinion though, Staypuft would whoop his but ;-)

Thanks all. The reflection is not part of the mark. Merely my attempt at jazzing up the presentation for LogoPond (ie this floor is so clean it shines LOL). Next time I'll stick to the basics.

I agree with others this looks like a twin of a Michelin Man.
