A stupid thought is keeping me awake at 1 AM and I need to share it to the outside world (especially experts like @nintendojofr or @luigiblood). Hear me out:
was the Nintendo logo ever red-on-white in Japan??
Logopedia states that the red logo was the main one between 1984 (just before the US release of the NES?) and 2008 (the fondly-remembered Cammie Dunaway era). But! Look at the attached pictures. Can you spot a red Nintendo logo on these Japanese boxarts?
