Juan Carlos Argüello (23 September 1965 - 1 July 1995), known as Muelle , was a Spanish graffiti artist from Campamento, Madrid.

==Career== Around 1980, during the Movida Madrileña, Argüello started reproducing the logo he had designed on walls and public spaces of Madrid. It consisted of the word Muelle (Spanish for "spring"), or an R with an enclosing circle (®) and a line in the shape of a coiled spring ending in an arrowhead. At first, he used an ink marker and later spraypainted his signature extensively around Madrid (and to a lesser extent, in other Spanish localities). In the eighties, he improved his technique, using several colours in a technique labelled relleno, wider borders known as grosor, and 3-D effects.
