If you are up for suggestions. I would swap filaments at the layer after the base is finished and switch colors so that the logo will pop against the base color.
That’s what I currently try (I am not OP) and it does not works. The slicers use one magic Gcode command (M600) that does all the filament change movements and interactions.
My shitty printer (Weedo Tina2) does not recognize this command (I have found the documentation).
A printer at my fablab (artillery X2) just ignores it.
OK… looks like I could play with M226.
M226 waits until a pin’s value changes - you have to know the numer of the pin.
M43 allows you to display the pin’s value. I may find a pin matching with the user’s button.
These two exotic instructions are implemented in my shitty printer (from the documentation).
I have to try it.
You mean going trough the menu ? I have never used this feature. When you “pause” the print, does the printer head goed to the origin (to be able to push the filament" ? I can imagine that it depends of the printer…

Also add a few more top layers to hide the infill better.

What do you use to make midprint filament change?
You can insert any custom GCode at any layer, at least with PrusaSlicer. So check what your printer supports for changing filament and try that.

You can also just pause it and change filament manually.
Just remember to push through some of the filament until the color comming out is right.
