Coca-Cola

If there was a poll, this might be the first logo that comes to mind when you think of red. Of course, the company spends millions of dollars every year on this. This logo was the hardest on the list to interpret, so to start with the hardest, I put it first. 

The iconic logo basically represents passion and excitement. Yeah, I know, that's a lot of words for a drink with sugar syrup. I think in a way, they deliver what they promise. At least that's how it looks in the commercials. 

Netflix

I was really surprised to learn that Netflix entered the entertainment industry by renting DVDs. It is now one of the players that invented the industry. If we say that it has created its own market, we wouldn't be wrong. It's one of the logos where red looks the best.

The logo uses two different colors. One is dark red and the other is a color known as Netflix red. Yes, the company has almost created its own color. 

KFC

I'm not sure if it's as delicious as it used to be, but I can say that the logo is still very cool. KFC logo, the founder of the brand The man in the logo is Sanders and he is the founder of the company. 

Target

Time, movement and wholeness. This logo represents these three concepts. The point you see at first glance is not really there, this logo is made up of three circles and the contrast it creates makes us feel like there is a target. 

LEGO

Lego is one of the most popular brands for children, adults and people who were once children but are now adults. It is a logo presented in a fun font and is just the word itself. As for the meaning of the word. It actually just means to unite.

YouTube

The Youtube logo may be the most seen play button in the world. Because it is a site with nearly 4 billion monthly visitors. The black color is sophistication, and power. Red represents excitement, which is normal because it's one of the biggest companies in the entertainment industry. 

Canada Dry

It's only natural that the logo of a beverage company that has been around for over a hundred years should have a story.

As you'll notice, the logo has been the same for a long time. But with small touches to keep it modern. 

Canon

Canon has a red color because it is a Japanese brand. This color is also known as Boston University Red or Canon color. 

Since it has very close tones, it has two different color names as a result of the use of two different institutions. This is very normal as both institutions are well-established institutions. 

Nintendo

As you know, Nintendo is a game console company. Just as games are constantly changing and getting better, Nintendo has evolved too. It also revamped its logo. So that its customers could see that it remained fresh and new. If you look closely, the logo is designed like a game track. 

eBay

Ebay is one of the two names that come to mind when it comes to online trading. In fact, each letter in the logo can be considered as each stage of e-commerce. 

Burger King

Established brands like Burger King update their logos to keep up with the times as design trends update. But sometimes, as in fashion, old trends start to come back in the language of design. This current logo is very similar to the burger logo from the 1960s. 

It has a structure that whets the appetite even though no nutritional elements are used. 

Wendy's

Just like KFC, famous for its great chicken, the Wendy's logo is made by a real person. Melinda Lou, the founder's daughter. 

The logo is actually homey, which indirectly convinces people about the cleanliness of the restaurant chain. 

7-Eleven

It's located on the long trunk of 7-Eleven's red 7. This is the favorite part of the logo for many people, including me. The trapezoid shape is actually meant to show how practical the brand is, but I'm not sure how much this is understood by customers. 

Airbnb

The heart shape represents hospitality. The pronounced lines also indicate accessibility. Considering the old logo, Airbnb has made a great change. 

Instagram

When this app first appeared, people were sharing pictures of food, landscapes and maybe even themselves. Today, the app has become a huge platform. Only the forms of content shared have not changed. It has also created its own economy. This gradient transition illustrates this diversity beautifully. 

Pinterest

P comes from pinning, which we know as pinning to save, while Interest is an elegant way of saying “pin things you're interested in”. 

Marvel

The Marvel logo may look like a font on red, but it actually gives us some clues about the Marvel universe. It takes its place as one of my favorite logos, not only among the red ones, but also among all the other logos. 

CNN

CNN was the first channel to emerge with the goal of broadcasting live news 24 hours a day. Although there have been other setbacks, over time it has performed close to flawlessly. Later, with the emergence of social media, interest in the mainstream media declined, but it is still one of the most influential media powers. 

The current logo of CNN is an elongated version of the red light that lights up in the recording room at the moment of the stream.
