Hello Creekers, can someone direct me with color filling the attached logo?
I am engraving these onto some laquered tea trays for a business in town. I can fill the obvious letters with white, the trays are black but how about the green/M combination. suggestions on steps? thanks in advance

If it were me, I would engrave the PM, then fill with white. Then I would mask the lot, do a kiss cut on the tape. In other words do a vector in the shape of the green but only vector deep enough to cut through the tape and not damage the underneath. Then fill that.

To make it easier and neater, put a bold border around the letter M which is black, that won't be lasered and it will help to keep the tape from interfering with the white infill. This is a 'rough' (emphasis on the rough) idea of what I mean in this ammended picture. Just looking at the two, they look identical, the black border around the M is insignificant to the viewer.

You need to amend the logo to form "islands" , IE you need to do borders round various areas of fill so one colour doesnt run into another.
