What the The North Face Logo Colors Mean?
The North Face mark is three curved lines that trace Half Dome in Yosemite, drawn in 1971. The red comes in on the boxed version of the logo, where the name sits in a red rectangle beside the dome; it reads as a warning-label red, which suits a brand that sells gear for conditions that can kill you.
The North Face Logo Color History
The North Face logo color history holds the half-dome shape from 1971. It has been used in black alone, in white on red, and in a boxed lockup; the red and the dome outline are the two constants.

Brand colors are chosen for recognition, not for legibility. A failing value here is normal. It means use it as a fill, not as text.
