Did you know that "red" means "beautiful" in Russian - think Red Square translates to "the Beautiful Square" - or that seeing the color red makes your heart beat faster? This may be why red is so eternally appealing for companies, brand and design managers. The color red is commonly associated with anger, lust, passion, sexuality, danger, courage, strength, heat and in some countries, luck. Historically the color red has been seen as a sign of a revolution, socialism and communism.
The color red in logos is a popular choice for today's businesses. Food and restaurant brands like McDonald's, Arby's, Kellogs have based their brand around the color red. It's not just food brands, mega media companies like CNN and Youtube also feature red heavily in their logos. The color red is bright, robust and timeless, making it a great color of choice for your new logo design.
