Rinascimento is an Italian womenswear brand within TEDDY S.p.A.; the brand’s own magazine dates its beginnings to the early 2000s and identifies Bologna as its home base. Its identity is built around the name rather than a fixed typeface alone.

Meaning and history
The pictured artwork combines the uppercase RINASCIMENTO wordmark with a profile silhouette above it and a widely spaced “MADE IN ITALY” line below. The first rendering has very low contrast against its dark background; the second shows the same elements clearly in black against white. These images show a visual difference, not a documented change of era.
Rinascimento means “Renaissance” in Italian. The brand’s own account says Teddy founder Vittorio Tadei proposed the name to evoke Italian art, culture and savoir-faire, and says the brand was launched in Bologna. Rinascimento’s magazine recounts the name’s origin.
Trademark records describe the protected sign as the denomination RINASCIMENTO and state that its artistic representation may use different fonts and colours. The Italian registration is dated 26 January 2001; WIPO international registration 754447 followed on 7 February 2001. A second international registration was recorded in 2007. These are documented registration milestones, not dates for the artwork shown above. The WIPO record summary gives the registration details and wording.
A US registration for retail services provides a further documented lettering variation: its 2012 application was registered in 2013 with the drawing described as words or letters in stylized form, with no colour claimed. That record documents a stylized version of the name, but does not establish when the pictured silhouette artwork began. The US registration record lists the application and registration details.
Current identity
The brand remains active, and WIPO registration 754447 is listed as live through 7 February 2031. The record supports the continued status of the registered word mark; it does not by itself date or establish the current use of every element in the pictured artwork. TEDDY’s Rinascimento brand page presents the brand and its retail format.
