Hi intheknow,
After researching your question, I have been able to establish an
extremely close similiarity with a particular font. However, one of
the letters does not replicate the same letter in the logo. It is very
likely that the Prada Company, in an effort to show individualism, has
created its own font for its logo. Can you confirm that the logo is
indeed an available font. If you decide that an *almost exact*
likeness is sufficent, I will post my answer for you.

If the letter which appears to be different is "R", then I am
interested in this answer, since it does seem likely that Prada
changed that particular letter to make it unique.  The important thing
is that it matches the other letters, and that I could add a "C" and a
"T" in this font that would look consistent with the original logo.
thanks.

Actually the letter which is faintly different is the "A". As I
mentioned, the letters are very similar but not *exact*. Let me know
what you would like me to do and in the meantime I will keep searching
for you.

Hi intheknow,

After doing an extensive research for this particular font, the
closest one resembling the "Prada" logo is the 'Monotype Engraver'.
Like most companies, signatures are unique, and probably use different
fonts for different letters to achieve their uniqueness.

The Engraver can be seen here:

Notice all the letters are the same as the Prada font except for the
letter "A". This was most likely done to achieve the individuality
Prada desires. You will be able to find other fonts in the same
family, which contain a closer resemblance to the "A", but the other
letters are not as similiar as those found in the Engraver.
The Engraver comes from the family 'Agfa-Monotype'. Over 1700
different fonts of this family can be found at:

The Monotype Engraver can be purchased for $22.00 at the following

I hope this has been helpful.
