Gismo,
As I (mis)understand it, you wish to be able to continue a path without changing the shape of the (lastest segment of the) existing part, in other words keep the direction and length of the existing (latest) Handle.
One simple way is to use the Line Segment Tool to make a suitably created and placed guide line for the new segment, Smart Guides being your friends.

carefree,
At a first glance it looks (a bit) like a an RGB/CMYK Color Mode issue.

Thank you for the clarification of the killer facts, Brad.
It would have been nice to be able to get at least some impression of the possible colours while working on them as for CMYK.
I was aware that it would be a difficult/impossible task to realize such a feature.

iom group,
There are many issues that can hit anyone at any level. RTL/LTR issues are among them.
May I asked which option you used here?

defaultt,
Illy (job description Adobe Illustrator) can always come up with a sillier way, and she is always eager to help.
Here is a sample of a Knockout Group way where any or all of can be moved round freely, with red and blue lines dotted inside the black one at any time.

Diniz,
I presume you wish to be able to see the actual limits relative to (s)RGB on screen, and adapt to that; obviously you cannot see the opposite (smaller) parts elsewhere that go beyond (s)RGB.
You can submit a feature request, https://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/333657-illustrator-desktop-feature-requests https://illustrator.uservoice.com/
If one is already submitted, you can join it.

Thank you very much for sharing, moroderix.
I like the lighter text and arc, and the further rotation.

moroderix,
I believe it may be worth trying a simple adjustment by just removing the hopefully circular superfluous top part and rotating the right and left parts of the black/green band behind the 30 YEAR ANNIVERSARY in place and rejoining them.
This based on the centre of the black/green circle(s), after locking the 30 YEAR ANNIVERSARY and everything within the black/green circle, and with Smart Guides being your friends:
1) Select the black or green circle and hope to see the centre straight away, or when ticking the Show Center button in the Attributes palette;
2) With the Line Segment Tool, snap and ShiftClickDrag vertically upwards from the centre to somewhere above the design, then lock it; this is your vertical guide line;
3) With the Line Segment Tool, snap and ClickDrag from the centre to the lower point of the bolt to the right (where the arrow starts), then from the centre to the lower point of the bolt to the right (where the arrow starts); this is your lower right guide line;
4) Repeat 3), only from the centre to the upper point of the bolt to the right (where the arrowhead ends); this is your upper right guide line;
4) Select the lower right guide line, then switch to the Rotation Tool and Click the centre, then hold Alt/Option and ClickDrag a copy of the line to snap to the upper right guide line, then delete the copy of the line; this gives the rotation angle;
5) Select the vertical guide line from 2), then copy it twice in front of itself;
6) With the top copy from 5) still selected, switch to the Rotation Tool and hold Alt/Option and Click the centre, then Click OK to rotate this part into place to the left;
7) Click the other copy from 5), switch to the Rotation Tool and hold Alt/Option and Click the centre, then deselect the angle and add a minus in front of it, then Click OK to rotate this part into place to the right;
Now you have the cutting guide lines for the black/green band behind the 30 YEAR ANNIVERSARY;
8) Select the black/green band behind the 30 YEAR ANNIVERSARY, or (each of) its constituent parts, then cut it at the cutting guide lines with the Scissors Tool, snapping to these, then delete the top part;
9) Hide the cutting guide lines;
10) ‌‌Select the leftmost part of the black/green band, then switch to the Rotation Tool and hold Alt/Option and Click the centre, then Click OK to rotate this part into place;
11) Select the rightmost part of the black/green band, then switch to the Rotation Tool and hold Alt/Option and Click the centre, then remove the minus in front of the angle, then Click OK to rotate this part into place;
Now you ought to have both parts rotated together;
12) Deselect, then ClickDrag with the Direct Select Tool over each set of hopefully coinciding cut points at the top (if not coinciding, Object>Path>Average Both may be used first) and Join them; if there are more paths on either side rather than one path with a green fill and a black stroke, lock the other set.
This ought to give a simple adjustment by just removing the hopefully circular superfluous top part, rather than having to change the shapes of the bolt parts.

I agree Hans-Jürgen; in my experience the best ways to hide changes are to make large inconspicuous ones hidden in plain sight, or to change an important but subtle detail.

Those two old SFTW threads are really worth reading in full; in the latter one, Ged is disguised as Guest owing to some unfortunate forum error.

Matu,
When I first read your question, I noticed that your original path and the shortened end paths had Round Cap and thereby rounded ends, which is more complicated to obtain than a simple cutoff corresponding to Butt Cap.
It is doable, and I looked into fully editable/reversible ways to do it, but then I had some urgent tasks, and left the thread until now.
Normally the simpler cutoff is used, and it also makes the text appear as an integral part of the arrow path, rather than text between two paths, only one being an arrow path.
You could also choose Butt Cap instead of Round Cap for the arrow path with full consistency.
I can see that Kurt has offered a solution easy to use.

Amicoe, I quite understand your being dissatisfied with the traced an image.
No matter the resolution, I believe the gan image shows that redrawing is the right way, especially for something like a logo; and I doubt whether it takes longer than to (try to) repair a traced image.
Apart from everything else, the redrawing of an old(er) logo may also give the opportunity of possible improvement/rethinking, maybe making yous (or at least you) even happier and the logo even better.

Amikoe, may I ask how the time to create the logo compares to the time you think you would need to make the Image Trace version tolerable (if at all possible)?
Which (wrong) image are you referring to?
The ability to edit posts, after clicking the More button under the susmitted post, requires a certain level of forum participation.
I am unsure which, but at least one of our friends knows. @pixxxelschubser ?

I am pleased to see that you chose the cleaner way of redrawing with the use of stroked paths, and I believe it has been happier.
