Outline/echo around an image?
#3
Another way but not as convenient

Build up the logo from bottom to top using paths Path  for each outline to preserve the sharp corners. see: https://docs.gimp.org/en/gimp-using-paths.html

Something like this:
1. The base image, with the paths drawn round it, as outlines for each color. https://i.imgur.com/SpsoLxl.jpg

2. Keep each part on its own layer, using the outline for the orange colour which is the largest area, put the path to a selection Orange foreground colour (fg) and fill. https://i.imgur.com/iRBpKqU.jpg 

3. Another layer on top of that for the yellow, use the path-to-selection, yellow fg, and fill https://i.imgur.com/UDYPYa9.jpg

4. The yellow line is a little different, make the path active, yellow fg colour, stroke the path Edit -> Stroke Path https://i.imgur.com/hJnm1Yb.jpg

since I had to reproduce that for the screenshots, you might as well have the Gimp file .xcfgz compressed, just open it up in Gimp. It was a bit quick in the making, you should be able to improve it.
