Hllo everyone,

 

I brought in a logo design from chat gpt into illustrator. I want to change the color of soe of the text. When I select the company name with the moc=ve tool it selects certain letters. For example: COMPANY NAME...It selects every letter except the P, N, and M. Therefore, I change the color it is allowing me to change. So I select the letters that it did not change. Underneath the company name is the tagline.  when I select the letters in the compant name two letters in the yagline get selectes also. Therefore, when I change the remainng letters in copany name, two letters inn the tagline also change colors. Somehow they are groupled together. I just want to change the colors in the Company name. Not the tagline. I hope this makes sense. Can someone help me solve this problem > I'm new to illustrator and have searched you tube but to no avail. Thanks in advance.

Did you try to Ungroup first? Select the objects with the black arrow (shortcut V) and choose Object > Ungroup All

Or try to select the text with the Direct Selection Tool (shortcut A) and change the fill color.
