I believe the color of the proposed logo is orange rather than bright red. And I think its a pretty good color for git, as it conveys friendliness and confidence [1][2]. Additionally, orange/red alerts and attracts the eye while green is calming, uninteresting. Imagine a page with five different SCM logos. If you want git to stand out, choose orange/red. If you want git to be overlooked choose green. Just my 2 cents.
