The Gamepad 64 should have the primary colours as seen on the old C64 badge, I know it might not looks as nice but that's how C64 is. 
One thing I would say is that the D-pad in the official NES pads was poor for diagonals so not the best choice even if it's a possible one - that's if it copies the original pad. SNES 'd-pad' is a better choice for total control on demand. Innext USB SNES pad or something like it might be an idea as an alternative to get a better D-pad but then a face plate to cover up the unused buttons might be needed.
In Europe they had a pad for the Amiga, google image: amiga action am pad
Made by Logic 3, Red button is Auto Fire and Blue is Fire. The bumper buttons do the same thing as the buttons.
These work fine on C64 as I have two of them but DO NOT use them on the 264 series as they have a micro chip inside and when I tested one on a C16 strange characters were being displayed for the inputs when I pushed up/down/left/right. I quickly switched the C16 off and removed it, thankfully it didn't damage the TED chip.
