Is there a way to overlay the Zeta Beta Tau with Phi Delta Theta so the font/style stays the same?

Hello all, I need help overlaying the red-ish text in this photo to change it from saying Zeta Beta Tau to Phi Delta Theta, and so the new text stays in the same style/font. I tried font-match and searching for the exact font online, but couldn't find any that were close enough for my liking. I will attach the photo I am talking about in the post. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

If it is actually text as you say it is, then double-click the Type layer and edit the text.

 

If it is pixels and not text, and all on one layer, then there is no typeface involved. There are only pixels. You would need to remove the red pixels, recreate where the black pixels used to be, then type and format the new text.

 

 

Have you asked Zeta Beta Tau if they have a layered copy of the file and have you gotten permission to reuse their design for your own purposes?

 

 

Zeta Beta Tau (ΖΒΤ) is a Greek-letter social fraternity based in North America. It was founded on December 29, 1898. Originally a Zionist youth society, its purpose changed from the Zionism of the fraternity's early years when, in 1954, the fraternity became non-sectarian and open to non-Jewish members, changing its membership policy to include "All Men of Good Character".

 

Phi Delta Theta (ΦΔΘ), commonly known as Phi Delt, is an international secret and social fraternity founded at Miami University in 1848 and headquartered in Oxford, Ohio.

This is exactly what I was looking for! Thank you so much. 

What website/program is this for future reference?

No website, no matter how good, is as good as an optimised preparation of the image. (in this case I used whatfontis . com with this image)

Hello and thank you for your response!

 

I have been given permission from ZBT, but they said they aren't able to provide a layered copy of this design, so I will just do the other work around you wrote. Thank you so much for your help.

You're welcome and ask again if you get stuck @Ty34925669v1i6 

 

Looking again, they might have done the entire image in Illustrator. The red text looks like it has a brush applied as an Appearance for the black stroke.

You'll need to redraw the whole graphic unless you can get a copy of the original. Delete everything but the script letters and see about matching- Adobe Fonts doesn't look to have a match.
