Orange symbolizes bold and joyful feelings. Orange can make people feel invigorated and ready to tackle an issue, it relates to our gut reactions. When a logo is orange it is to produce a gut reaction toward the product and make you feel excited.

Gatorade and Nickelodeon use orange to excite their markets. When you see the Gatorade Orange you want to get up and do something and do it well, you want to be active. The Nickelodeon logo is beloved by kids they see and it immediately gets them excited about the show that will come on right after.
