How to Change Part of Brilon "B"?

[lbohen]

I created the attached  logo using the Brilon typeface and want to change the yellow-highlighted portion of the "B" to another color. How do I do that?

It depends on how you made the Logo. Specifically, how you made the yellow highlights.

Did you use Designer/Photo/Publisher to do this? Or is this a finished product and you don't have access to the original artwork.

The yellow-highlighting was added with SnagIt.

I have the original image (attached) created in Designer.

If those are vector strokes, I would simply duplicate them, recolour as desired, and clip the recoloured copies to the rectangles.

You can Group the layers on demand if wanted/needed!

v_kyr; Thank you so much. Exactly what I wanted to create. How did you do it?

There are several different possible ways to do that.

• Since I didn't had a vector representation of your above shown image, I vectorized that with a bitmap-to-vectors tracer for 2 colors (black & red). So I've got the whole image as an 2 colored (2 layers) vectors drawing in PDF/SVG which I opened in ADe. Then on a copy of your bitmap image I also removed everything except that L part there and traced that too (opened that one too in ADe and copied it's layer over to the other already opened 2 layers doc. - So I finally had everything as vectors where I could asign an individual color to the L part (left the other parts as red & black).
   
• Instead you can also deal just with plain vectors here, as you should have the vector version of the initial image. Keep one whole vector representation and make an additional copy just of the B text part as vectors, for the B copy if it's artistic text from some used font select it and perform a "Layer-> Convert to Curves" operation, so you get it as vectors.
  
  Now in ADe 2 you can cut (Knife tool) the vector B copy into parts and throw those parts of it away you don't need, so the L part is left. Alternatively in ADe2 you can use also the ShapeBuilder tool instead of the Knife tool to get/form that L part then. - Another alternative way, which works in ADe 1+2 is, to use instead the geometric add/subtract/divide operations in order to get an L out of that second copy B.
