Illustrator Changes Exported Logo Colour

Hi,

 

So, I have exported a white logo as an SVG file, but my logo turns out black (the original colour of the logo). I originally changed the colour of the logo via Edit >  Edit Colors > Adjust Color Balance. It turns out the right colour for every file other than SVG, any help would be appreciated.

 

Thanks.

It wouldn't let me upload the AI file, but I have uploaded the PDF. I kept getting the error of:  '(application/postscript) does not match its file extension and has been removed' when I tried the ai file.

 

The white logos are for black backgrounds, so you probably won't be able to see them properly on the PDF with the white background.


I would say, you are looking for trouble with this one.

The graphics are so simple you could trace them (even Image Trace should work). And then you would be safe from this kind of issues. And it would make more sense saving it as an SVG.

Is the logo a vector graphic?

Which color mode is the file (before exporting as SVG)?

The main part of the logo is a vector graphic, but I have two small PNG images being used as well. The colour mode of the file is CMYK.

SVG can only be RGB.

You might want to show us the AI file, because it's not a lot of fun guessing this.
