Xilam (pronounced as Cy-lam) is a French production company that specializes in animated series and feature films. Marc du Pontavice founded it in 1999 after he left Gaumont Multimédia.

The logo features a white stick-figure like man, named Mr. X, walking across the screen, holding a paintbrush and a paint-can. He paints a red X on the floor. As Mr. X backs away, the camera zooms in on the X. The gray letters, "-ilam" appear on the left of the X. That forms the company's name.

However, as seen on Oggy and the Cockroaches and early episodes of the fourth season of Strawberry Shortcake, an unused logo was seen. Here is the video :
