Here are the color scheme solutions for each logo, following the rules in your worksheet.
1. Nike (Monochromatic)
*
Rule: Maximum 5 colours (one colour in different shades).
*
Solution: Use
Red.
* Colour the swoosh and text in a bright Red.
* Use lighter pinkish-reds or darker maroons for shadows or highlights if you want to add depth, but keep it all within the red family.
2. Adidas Originals (Analogous)
*
Rule: Maximum 3 colours (colours next to each other on the wheel).
*
Solution: Use
Blue, Blue-Green, and Green.
* Colour the trefoil leaves in these three cool tones. They sit right next to each other on the color wheel and look very harmonious together.
3. BAPE (Complementary)
*
Rule: Use 2 or 4 colours (colours opposite each other on the wheel).
*
Solution: Use
Purple and Yellow.
* Colour the main "BAPE" letters in Purple.
* Colour the shadow/3D block effect behind the letters in Yellow. These two are direct opposites and create high contrast.
4. Gucci (Triadic)
*
Rule: 3 colours (forming a triangle on the wheel).
*
Solution: Use
Red, Yellow, and Blue.
* This is the classic primary color triad. You can colour one 'G' in Red, the other 'G' in Blue, and use Yellow for the background or outlines. Alternatively, use Orange, Green, and Purple for a secondary triad.
5. Lacoste (Contrast)
*
Rule: Black, white & 1 colour of your choice.
*
Solution: Use
Black, White, and Green.
* Keep the crocodile outline in
Black.
* Leave the inside
White (or paper color).
* Add a splash of
Green (perhaps for the eye, tongue, or a background shape) to represent the brand's tennis origins.
6. The North Face (Own Scheme)
*
Rule: Maximum 3 colours.
*
Solution: Use
Black, White, and Orange.
* Keep the box and text
Black and
White as shown in the original iconic design.
* Add
Orange for the quarter-circle dome symbol. This is a very common real-world variation of their logo that stands out well.
