A Masterpiece --- Question for June 4

A trademark identified with Y is the white stylised six-pointed star with rounded edges, representative of the X snowcap from above, the symbol being adopted in 1913. The number "4810," an attribute of X, is also a commonly recurring theme.

What are X and Y? What is X's claim to fame?

Hint: Y is mightier than the sword.

My guess, since it was in the news recently, is the pen company Mont Blanc. X might be the peak Mount Blanc, whose height is probably 4810m.

Mont Blanc pens. 4810 is probably the height of the peak in meters. Mont Blanc is the highest peak in the European Alps.

The Answer said...

Montblanc pens and the mountain Mount Blanc, which as Nikhil said is the highest in the Alps.

Thanks for playing!
