Atlético Nacional’s badge shows a green-and-white shield with a stylized “AN” monogram in the centre and a castle tower above it. The design is clean, geometric and strongly tied to the club’s traditional green-and-white identity.

The green and white colours come from the visual identity of Medellín and Antioquia, and they also support the club’s famous nicknames, including “Verdolagas” and “El Verde.”

The castle tower is the main architectural symbol of the badge. It represents grandeur, tradition, strength and hierarchy, giving the crest a civic and historic character rather than relying only on football imagery.

Atlético Nacional was founded in 1947 in Medellín as Atlético Municipal and adopted the Nacional name in 1950. The current badge, introduced in 2000, keeps the identity focused on the AN initials, the green-and-white palette and the strong institutional image of one of Colombia’s most successful clubs.
