Can someone help me out please and tell me the best way to change colours on a logo or any design come to that?

I have the DVD logo thats all black but i wanted to change it to a different colour and wondered whats the best way to go about this.

Many Thanks

Select the logo in your layers palette then RIGHT CLICK for the POP-UP MENU..........SELECT BLENDING OPTIONS (second from the top) then look down the STYLES to COLOR OVERLAY. Just TICK the box and bingo..............you can do this to change or include DROP SHADOW, GRADIENTS and TEXTURES etc!

Cheers for that mate, can you choose any colour you want to change to?

yep you can ULAM:thumbup:

Just double DOUBLE click the RED DEFAULT to bring up the colour palette:thumbup:

Thats great cheers for that, i would of spent all week trying to work that out :D

no probs buddy................here to serve:thumbup:

Been using your method and have no probs until today when i tried to change the colour of this logo, when i select colour the whole area changes colour and not just the logo, have i done something wrong?

Its the Regions_-_2_PAL_-Globe- logo found here http://www.dvdcoversfuzion.com/forum/showpost.php?p=362&postcount=3

It seems i can only change colour if theres a background, is that right?

It's on a white background.

Open that logo up alone in Photoshop.

Choose..., select>color range

A new box will appear showing you the logo. click on a white spot anywhere in the logo and click okay. It has now selected all the white. Hit the delete key.

Now you will have the black logo on the transparent background. To clean it up go to layer>layer style>color overlay. Select black (or any color you wish), and it should be ready to go.


Make sense?:biglaugh:
