White page, "LOGO ARCHITECTURE" header. A two-by-two grid of rounded swatch cards shows weak combinations: a pale pink logo on white, a white logo on light gray, a near-tone red logo on red, and a barely-visible dark logo on near-black. A right-hand gray note reads "Shown below are examples that are not recommended for use." "Logo on Color - Caution" sits large lower right, split across two lines in red and black display type; the pill footer shows page "10."

Key takeaway

Mirroring the approved grid exactly but filling it with bad pairings makes the contrast lesson concrete: readers see the same surfaces fail. Splitting the corner title across red and black lines is a neat way to flag a "caution" variant of an earlier page.

Reuse notes

Use directly after an approved-backgrounds page so the do/don't comparison is one flip apart. A clear teaching device for any brand whose logo gets dropped onto poorly chosen backgrounds. The low-contrast examples deliberately look wrong, which is the point.
