Design Color Change Etiquette (I own the logo)
EDIT: Thanks for all the quick responses!!! I try to be very intentional as the media rep for our band, which leads me to overthink very easily. I really appreciate all the answers to my question/concern. I just wanted to make sure I wasn't doing something that designers secretly hate (like dumping a "for here" latte with beautiful art into a to go cup without even taking a sip lol). Tried to search this but I kept getting black and white answers and I'm hoping for more nuanced answers from designers. I own the logo to my band and paid a local artist in my city to make it for us. It's primarily black and white with the words in one color. I'm not looking to permanently change the color, I just find it's nice to match the color to certain situations (like a Halloween flyer, making the letters orange). 9/10 I use the main color, but sometimes it'd be nice to play off different themes. I have changed it to grey scale from time to time, but never messed with the actual "color" color. I also have the vectors so the color changing I'm not relying on AI to change anything either. I know I legally can change the color, but what's the etiquette with this situation? I just want to make sure I'm respectful of the artist's work.
