Hughes Posted October 1, 2021 Share Posted October 1, 2021 I'm trying to change the image attached so that the HB in the center is the same color as the circles and the area surrounding the HB is removed, I have searched and youtubed but no luck. The HB is created as a negative space (I believe is the right term ?) so I can use the stroke to get a line but then the whole shape gets that same line.

Komatös Posted October 2, 2021 Share Posted October 2, 2021 Hello @Hughes and welcome to the forums. Which programme do you work with? Can you take a screenshot of the layer list? Would you provide us with the file so that we can find a solution faster?

GarryP Posted October 2, 2021 Share Posted October 2, 2021 In addition to what Komatӧs said above, can you explain more about how should the “area surrounding the HB” be removed? In particular, how much of the “area” should be “removed” and what do expect to happen with the white lines which are inside that “area”?

Wosven Posted October 2, 2021 Share Posted October 2, 2021 HI @Hughes, Do you have an original with vector or a PDF version of the logo? Modifications would be easier. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wosven Posted October 2, 2021 Share Posted October 2, 2021 For this, I would: Display the Channels panel Select the Alpha channel Right-click > Load to selection Display all Channels Invert the selection Add a new fill layer on top Fill it with the same red Hide the bottom layer Select "HB" with a rectangle selection Invert selection and hit delete Hide this layer Select bottom layer Select the central area around HB with round selection and delete Display the top layer Hughes 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alfred Posted October 2, 2021 Share Posted October 2, 2021 Getting away from any potentially controversial specifics, don’t you simply want a set of aligned shapes with letters in the middle? I can’t see why negative space needs to be considered here.

Wosven Posted October 2, 2021 Share Posted October 2, 2021 I completely deleted the lines and it look strange, but I'm not sure either without the middle of the cible...

Hughes Posted October 2, 2021 Author Share Posted October 2, 2021 Apologies I forgot to mention I'm using Affinity Designer. My comment on negative space might have also been confusing, I'm not an experienced graphic user, what I meant was the letters in the middle of the design are not text and therefore I can't manipulate them, they are formed by the area around them and I would like to have them shown like the third example Wosven showed above. I appreciate everyone explaining how I might achieve this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We received the files from a designer on Fivver and wanted to change them, however, you're right, I know enough (Which isn't much as yet as I'm still learning Affinity) to start from scratch and get what I want, so I did !
