Daily Quiz #18

X began as an academic project by students of a University in Paris in 1996. Some time before this happened, some students from the Student Association of the institute had once come back to the college drunk, with a Y they found on the road, subsequently starting a collection of Y. And when X was started they decided to use Y as their logo. ID X. I wouldn’t specifically have any points for identifying Y, coz if you get one you would naturally get the other.

Answer:

Y was a traffic cone, and X is obviously VideoLan Project, more famous for its VideoLan Client Media Player, or VLC Media Player whose logo as you would have noticed, is a traffic cone.
