Manual Creative Logo Recoloring

I’m sharing two files: one black-and-white logo and a separate version that was auto-colored by AI. I’d like you to ignore that AI palette, keep every line, shape, and letter exactly as they are, and manually introduce your own colors so the mark feels clean, natural, and professionally crafted.

My palette preference leans toward neutral tones—think nuanced blacks, whites, and grays—yet the finished piece should still read as fun and playful rather than stiff or strictly corporate. Balance is key: subtle contrasts, clever negative space, maybe an unexpected gray tint or shading that brings energy without straying from the neutral family.

Please avoid any automated coloring tools; this needs your trained eye and hand. When you’re done, deliver:

• The recolored logo in original vector format (AI or EPS)
• An editable layered file (PSD or similar)
• High-resolution transparent PNG

I’ll provide prompt feedback on early previews so you can fine-tune before final hand-off.
