Transparent PNG Export with white text no Longer Black

[jvbandes]

I had an artist create some logos for me and they sent them to me as Ai files. I exported them to use with a transparent background and the Text or Stroke in the path is White on a Black Background which is perfect and what I want because I can look that the thumb nail and see what the text says. Today I made a few more changes and now when I export the background is white and I can no longer read the text. When I insert the PNG the background is transparent and correct its just the thumb nail that no longer displays in black which was extremely helpful so I could read the text. I dont recall making any changes so I dont know why it suddenly started doing this. As you can see below the top one is how it exports now (white background) and the bottom one is how it used to export (black.) in fact it would be nice to tell it what color to make the background so that the writing whether black or white can be seen in the thumbnail view in the folder of files.

To be clear they work when loaded or inserted in a picture they just dont look as I would like them as thumbnails in the folder of files.

Is there a black background in your Illustrator file?

If so use the Use Artboards option instead of exporting the selection
