One thing I would suggest is to make a Designer document with a series of artboards, one for each of the logos.  Make them all big size vector objects and then you can cut and paste into a new document and size them.

Instead of trying to add another fill to the existing shape, add a separate shape! A white shape with gradient transparency will produce a highlight effect on the underlying object (and a black shape with gradient transparency would produce a shadow effect).

I used the blend mode Erase some times and other times I used the Geometry > Subtract.

Take node-tool - drag around the corner nodes and call for "Join Curves":

You are going to have to do a lot of duplicating of the existing curves. So first you should separate the curves. Then duplicate the shapes so you can build enclosing curves.
Fair amount of work but it was a fun challenge.

I put in one named Global colour in a Document Palette. You should make more for the colours in all the gradient/solid fills and the stroke(s) so you'll be able to quickly change update the colours in the Swatches panel.

Ive just looked in my backup folder and I have some of the brush sets from 1.7.3  The ones I can't see in 1.8 are Chalks and Pastels and Grunge.
...and I think Oils and acrylics are not there.

So, I fell in love with Affinity after about an hour of playing with it. I bought it and started bringing my favorite assets over from Photoshop and Illustrator, including some styles I have been using for years on my web projects. I thought perhaps others could use them too, so here they are with a bonus set of sticker styles.
 
Enjoy if they're of interest to you. 
 
UPDATE: New version 2.0! This time the gradients and strokes are tool editable. No more trips to the Effects Panel. This gives better and easier control of the styles.
 
BONUS: By request, 4 atmosphere styles. Included is the AD file with all styles applied for you to play with. Will likely only open in the latest beta. Sorry.
 
BONUS: Dream Metals styles! Aluminum, Gold, and Copper.

So, i've recently created 10 Style for my day to day work, i'm really happy how easy it is to create gradient, brushes etc... with Affinity for our day to day use.
i hope these small package will help one here.
You will find : Gold, Silver, Metal and few others really ...  ... like the one i call : Ferrari Style.
Enjoy !

Here are also some Div Metal Styles (mostly dark textured/structured ones) for those who might have a need for these!

Other than recurring to a third party app to place all svg's in the same document and export it as a single svg file (or other adequate format) to then open in Designer to drag them to the Assets panel I'm not seeing a way to do it in Designer alone. I will pass this to the dev team - it's a little limited currently.

Hello there...
I thought I'll share palette that I use daily.
It is designed to work in 15 columns.
Full spectrum in steps, 3 saturation levels, 5 brightness levels + grays.
It's intended use is to make illustrations using precise colour picks rather than guessing on the Colour tab.
Knowing the construction of the palette one can ride it to get all sorts of blends, gradients and contrasts.

I grabbed a colour chart from the Internet, converted it to vector in CorelDRAW, exported as a WMF, imported into Affinity Designer and from there created this palette. I don't guarantee that all the colours are completely accurate and of course, accuracy in something like this is pretty subjective. Anyway, I hope this is of use to people and enjoy! It may be best viewed as a list in the swatch palette since then you can see the names. I have been including Trainspotting orange in every palette I have created in every program I have used since the film came out! My signature colour!
