I would like to create images like the logos below. How do I create a single colour version of a company's logo?

For example, how would I transform Google's logo (that has many colours and gradients, etc) into one that was a single colour.

I would like to create a single colour version of logos in order to use them on a webpage similar to the way they are used on the Grails homepage:

    I downvoted your question because you have shown no effort or created a proper question. Instead of posting a link to someone's site (which could be considered by some as posting spam) and asking how to re-generate a logo I would suggest making an edit to your question with effort, a picture of what you're trying to do and what exactly you're having problems with doing.

    you would typically ask the company for the single color version of their logo. Many companies have different versions of their logos.

  • @Darth_Vader thanks for the feedback (not every down voter gives it). I hope the edited question is now more suitable. May 16, 2015 at 20:06
  • @DA01 that's a good point. I'm not sure these companies can provide them (some are small one person companies), but it's worth a try! May 17, 2015 at 19:23

What I did, was make sure to download the transparent PNG version of the logo (if a transparent version is not available, you will just have to manually select the text/shapes) and import into Gimp. I then created a new layer, and used the brush tool to make it solid red. Then I desaturated the PNG logo until it was grey scale, like this (I hid the red layer for this screenshot):

Now I used Brightness and Contrast and pumped the values all the way up to make it completely white, like so:

Now I unhid the solid red layer to make it look like this:

enter image description here

And the original image looked like this:

Hope this helped you!
