Changing logo color in Canva
If you’re using any ready-made logo template from Canva, changing the color is quite simple. If you aren’t familiar with how to select a ready-made logo template in Canva, follow these couple of steps:
1. Create a logo design (500x500px) on Canva.
2. Choose a logo from the wide selection the double-click on it.
Keep in mind that if you’re using custom dimensions for your logo and have created a blank page with a custom size, simply click on Design and search for ‘Logo’ to find logo templates. Now, once you have selected a logo, follow these steps to change the color of the logo:
1. Select a logo.
2. Select a part of the logo and click on the color selection tool.
3. Select the color of your choice from the color selection tool and it will be applied right away.
4. If you want to change the color of the text, select the piece of the text, and then click on ‘Text Color’.
5. Now choose the color that you want for the text.
Keep in mind that you can select the entire text on the logo and change its logo or only select a part of the text and change the color. This Canva feature allows you to have a variety of colors on your logo and such features significantly contribute to the greatness of the tool.
Similarly, if you want to change the background color of the logo, simply click on the ‘background’ and change the color from the color selection tool.
Often, you’ll have to use different images inside your logo and if you’re using PNG or JPEG images for your logo, changing the colors can be a bit difficult. However, you can remove the background of the image and add your background. Similarly, you can adjust the colors of an image by tweaking the saturation, tint, temperature, and other image settings.
To slightly change the color of a PNG or JPEG logo on Canva, follow these steps:
1. Add the PNG, JPEG, or any other image format logo to Canva.
2. Click on the image and then press ‘Edit Photo’.
3. Click on ‘Adjust’ and scroll down until you see ‘Color Edit’ and then press the color.
4. Use the ‘Hue’ to change the color of the logo.
Note: Filters and shadows can also be used to change the color of solid images in Canva.
This is the easiest method of slightly changing the color of your logo on Canva without much of a hassle but not the most effective, unfortunately. However, we do have a solution for this problem as well. If you want to change the background color of your logo, you can do so by following these instructions:
1. Upload your logo on Canva.
2. Click on ‘Edit Photo’ and then select ‘BG remover’ to remove the background.
Note: This feature is only available for Canva Pro users. If you’re using the free version, go to remove.bg to remove the background for free.
3. Once the background is removed, click on ‘Element’s.
4. Select the square shape and cover the entire drawing board with the filled square.
5. Select the color of the square shape from the color selection tool.
6. Once you’ve selected the color, right-click on the ‘square shape’ and click on ‘Layer > Send to back’. This would change the background color of your logo.
