How will Logo Package address the removal of the PANTONE colour books now? I am lost without that functionality... ahhhh - can you please offer some guidance on what we should be doing now with our logos - I always tell Clients they'll be getting their LOGO ASSET LIBRARY WITH a pantone version. eeeeek stressing.
Hello. Pantone libraries are no longer available in the newest versions of Adobe Illustrator. Now, in order to use Pantone colors, you need to have the Pantone Connect extension and pay for a subscription. It's really unfortunate, but we can no longer offer Pantone conversion because of this development between Adobe and Pantone. If you still have access to Pantone colors, Logo Package Express 3.0 will still export the swatches. I will make a tutorial for a manual workaround soon.
I have been a frequent use and love it BUT I need to know how I can cut and paste my own black version in a component. I have one logo but need to change the black version only. Can this be done? Any videos?
Hello Ephonic. Yes this is possible, but it's a little tricky. Here is a tutorial: www.loom.com/share/32bbc75f04054e7381bbdadaba0e3928?sid=22d81408-cc47-490e-b6f5-367ededac381
@@LogoPackage Thanks so much for the super fast response. I rarely get a response from others. I will check it out. I played around a bit and saw that there is an ID given to the components for that black version when setting the versions. I just cut and pasted my own grouped black into the subgroup for that specific black ID and then deleted the other/original subgroups. That seems to have worked. I will still see your video.
Hey guys! Thank you for making this wonderful tool, this saves me so much time. Although when I export my logos in both web and print versions, I need to manually switch my document settings to CMYK before the print export phase. That wouldn't be an issue if that didn't have a direct impact on what my client sees when they land on the logo portal. All files appears to be in CMYK which can lead to confusion for my client. However, if I select the RGB version of the logo (even if it's displayed in CMYK), the file is indeed in RGB once downloaded. It seems that the Logo Portal display the last saved version of the logos during the export. And since the print export comes second when you export both versions... Is there a way around it? Is it possible to export without need to manually change the colour mode ?
Hello Kenann, I'm sorry you are experiencing issues. Why are you manually changing the document color mode? Logo Package Express changes the document color mode automatically when you switch between web and print exports. Try exporting without manually changing the document color mode and see what your result is. If it doesn't work, please email me at michael@logopackage.com.
Hi, I'm having trouble with the 3.0 version remembering my chosen Pantone shades. It keeps changing them to CYMK. Is there a Is there a way around it? Should I be adding the Pantone shades as 'Colour Schemes'? If so, how will the extension know to put these Pantone logo files in a folder under 'Print'. Also, how do I make sure that the 'print' logo files are converted to my chosen Pantone shade when I export the files for 'Web' and 'Print simultaneously? Are you suggesting that I must reset the panel with Pantone versions of the designs and export the print files separately? If so, it would take a while merging the two sets of exported folders so the print folders can be found alongside the 'Web' folders under the 'Logo' 'Logomark' & 'Logotype' folders.

I often change my white logos to be a touch thinner, so when I have my components set I delete the white version and paste in an alternate to the same spot. White is checked to export, but the export will not export a white version after I replace with an updated logo. It does the same thing if I setup a custom color and use the same replace technique. Any help appreciated!?
You must not ungroup any generated logo variations as this will break the export for those variations. If you need to modify generated artwork, please do so within the group by double clicking into the group or using the direct selection tool ("A" keyboard shortcut).

I'm having troubles re-exporting. I missed the AI file but now it's making me totally re-create the logo package. This seems a little counterintuitive. How do I not have to recreate the whole logo suite?
Any of the following actions will result in your work being lost: - Resetting the extension - Resetting Illustrator - Closing the logo grid document If you exported logos, but forgot AI files, and you had not taken any of the actions above, the extension would be ready for another export without any additional work on your part. You would go to the settings and uncheck every file format but "AI" and then run your export again to the same folder. If you exported logos, but did take any of the actions above, you would need to set all your components again and follow the same steps for exporting only AI files.
Hello Kevin - Logo Package Express works with gradient logos except for freeform gradients. Freeform gradients are not, in fact, gradients. They are a live raster effect disguised as a gradient. If your logo uses a freeform gradient, please check out this tutorial: www.loom.com/share/64ce29c2b9ed4451998557e22900b998?sid=fc5d89cd-d93c-4efc-a00a-efaef7bdb9b8
