I have the logo below that we use for all our companies products. We also print this onto clothing for our apparel range, but I want to create a design that instead of a solid block is just an outline or the shape.

What is the best and easier way to accomplish this?

I was thinking just adding a stroke to it, but then it looks a bit messy after going around and removing the solid color afterwards.

Thank you in advance for all your assistance!

Here are the steps:

Open PNG image in Photoshop.
Set Fill slider to 0%. Fill is slider just below Opacity in the Layers panel.
OGo to Layer > Layer Style > Stroke and set size and color of choice. Change Position of Stroke to Inside, that is what I did.
Play around with settings for Stroke effect to see what else you can get.

Are you able to do it with this logo? I have not been able to so it correctly. Can you also remove the circle outlining the image.

Your best bet since it sounds like you are starting from scratch is to use Adobe Illustrator. Drawing your logo with the Pen tool will give you the most versatility and control.

I was wondering if you could do sorta the same thing to what I have here too? I'm trying to do logo things for my school stuff and I don't have the software or device to do anything with it as well 😅

Kim, your post has been marked as correct. Have you got what you were after? If not what are you looking for?

Are you looking for an outline like the wolf image?

I would use Illustrator and not Photoshop to do it.

Just use the Pen tool with a stroke.

Take this image you are showing.... turn it into a template in Illustrator. Create a new layer and like I said use the Pen tool. Experiment with the stroke size and you are good. Also change the ends of the stroke to round as opposed to square.
