Nando Muzi is an Italian footwear label founded in 1963 in Sant’Elpidio a Mare. Its visual identity pairs the brand name with an NM monogram, giving the name a full wordmark form and the initials a compact emblem form.

Meaning and history
Two international trademark registrations dated 25 February 1998 describe the name and initials as separate marks. Registration 688956 describes “Nando Muzi” with capital initials and lowercase remaining letters. Registration 688957 describes a square frame containing superimposed, fused NM letters. Both records name NANDO MUZI DI MUZI BENEDETTA E C. S.N.C. as the holder and give a renewal date of 25 February 2028. These details appear in a third-party mirror of WIPO Madrid records.
1963 – 2012
This stage is labeled 1963 – 2012 in the archive. Its identity is described as a lighter setting of the name paired with a pictogram that stacks the M and N. The superimposed initials correspond to the construction described in the 1998 figurative-mark record.
2012 – Today
The later stage is labeled 2012 – Today and pairs the name with an NM pictogram. The wordmark shown here presents “Nando Muzi” in black mixed-case lettering, with both initials capitalized. The label places this artwork after the earlier stage in the archive’s sequence.
The wordmark and monogram
The two forms serve different practical roles: the full name spells out the label, while the joined initials form a more compact emblem. The registry’s description of the word mark matches the mixed-case structure visible in the later wordmark; its figurative-mark description specifies a square frame and fused NM letters.
The heel is another documented part of the brand’s visual character. Edizioni AF’s company profile describes early heels of about five centimeters and later sculpted heels, plateau soles, and crystal decoration. The profile also identifies Michele Muzi as creative director from 2006.
