Tone and color

Tone: The Simpsons 20th anniversary logo uses tone of the bold black letters draws the viewer's attention onto the logo itself despite the strong yellow background. The tone does not include any white removing negative space and helps highlight the shapes outlines of the words and numbers. The tone brings out the shapes of the black wording visuals instantly clear and also helps to really outline the picture inside the 20, Homer Simpson strangling Bart Simpson, making an inconic logo to help advertise the celebration of 20 years. 

Color:  The color yellow is signature to The Simpsons design style since most characters are depicted in yellow. Black is the color of the words probably because that would be most visible while using a yellow background. Yellow fills the shapes of Homer and Bart while serving to deliver a sort of signature to the art since yellow is the show's primary color for character designs. The color works well with the tone and shapes,  making the black letters stand out more exposing its boldness and highlighting the shape outlines.
