Hi, 

 

I have a logo in eps format (to be precise: it is the German EU Organic Logo with "BIO" in it) with some white inbetween (the letters and the circle), that needs to be removed for printing. 

I really tried to find tutorials for this, but I only found how to remove the background (already done, but there is still white background inbetween) or tipps ment for Affinity Photo - but I use Affinity Designer and actually thought this would be the program for this. 

So my question is - can I remove the white background in my logos in Affinity Designer? If so where can I find a short tutorial for that? 🙂

Sorry for this probably simple question, I am just starting to get these "smaller" design things done myself, but it is very frustrating right now cause my search never got me anywhere helpful. 

 

thanks, Eva

Welcome to the forums.
The best procedure may depend on how the EPS was created and, more specifically, where the white areas are and how they got there.
Would you be able to upload the file so we can have a look?
If not, would you be able to describe it in more detail?

These are now just jpgs/png, but I have the original eps too of course. 

It would be better if we had the .eps files.

For AD it's similar to remove white document backgrounds, "Datei -> Dokumenteneinstellung -> Farbe -> [x] Transparenter Hintergrund" ...

☛ Affinity Designer 1.10.8 ◆ Affinity Photo 1.10.8 ◆ Affinity Publisher 1.10.8 ◆ OSX El Capitan
☛ Affinity V2.3 apps ◆ MacOS Sonoma 14.2 ◆ iPad OS 17.2

For the EU Logo file, setting Transparent Background works nicely.

But the sw-strich file actually has white within the logo, so that one needs a different approach.

(And that's why I wanted to see the actual .eps files; thanks for supplying them :) ).

Someone else may come up with an answer for that file before I do...  But to start, expand the (Layer) layer in the Layers panel and turn off the visibility of the bottom layer (the white hexagon). And to finish, select the "i" curve layer in the Layers panel, and with the Move Tool, click the white Fill in the Context Toolbar, and remove it:
