Choose any color, I will come up with a list of 10+ companies with logos in that color. Uniqueness is about a lot more than just color. I've never looked at a Chrome logo and said: "Oh hey, look its a Microsoft logo.", because the logo is _unique_ in its shape and execution. > > Another comment was the red looked like Adobe since >> it is the Adobe corporate color which makes me think that red would not be >> a good color to chose. >> > A Valid consideration.

It would be reminiscent of Adobe if the entire logo was red and the accompanying text was black and in the same font as Adobe. I very highly doubt anyone is going to say: "Hey!
