The logo of the Moscow Metro consists of a bold serif letter “M” in red, formed with straight lines and sharp angles, surrounded by an outer contour shaped like a map pin. This contour is an open outline resembling a navigation marker with a pointed bottom and a smooth rounded top. It frames the letter “M”, emphasizing the connection with urban wayfinding. This version of the logo has been used since the renewal of the unified Moscow Transport style, where red and the map-pin form became key elements of the metro’s visual identity.
The Moscow Metro opened in 1935 and is one of the largest and most extensive metro systems in the world. It is operated by Moskovsky Metropoliten and includes dozens of lines, hundreds of stations, the MCC, the MCD and related transport services. Over the years, the system has gone through several modernization stages — from new trains and traffic-control technologies to a unified visual style for the city transport network. Today the Moscow Metro serves millions of passengers daily and remains a core element of the capital’s transport infrastructure.
