What the Square Enix Logo Colors Mean?
The Square Enix red is a straightforward, warm red that carries a wordmark rather than a symbol, which suits a company built from two names that both had equity worth keeping. There is no mark because neither Square's nor Enix's old logos survived the merger; the red does the work of unifying them.

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.
