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.
On my Prusa’s there is a pause command. The Artillery should be using Marlin (unless you flashed something else). Your slicer (Cura especially) will let you add a pause and even tell the machine where to park the head, that doesn’t use M600. I guess it depends on your firmware and the slicer you are using. It would easy to experiment with it. Put down a small test cube and add some pause commands and see what happens. I would use Cura or Prusa Slicer if you can as they both have pretty good support for the typical commands you would use on this.

What do you use to make midprint filament change?
