In 1956, for an an advertising campaign, it was created a silhouette of a bull of about 14m high, that was standing over hills representing the whole Spanish geography. Although it was created to advertise the brand, the bull eventually became part of the landscapes of the country and became a cultural symbol in Spain that, in recent years and with the increase of the anti-bullfighting groups, it has become something somewhat controversial.
