I remade my colored logo to a just white one, and I want the black in this to be removed / transparent.
Kinda like using the Magic Wand Tool on photoshop to remove it, but still keep it vectorized.
Is this possible?

1. Select everything with Selection Tool/Black Cursor > Live Paint > Expand
2. Highlight one black part > Select > Same > Fill & Stroke > Press DEL
You're welcome

Just open it in photoshop and change the blend mode to screen or add, then put it back in illustrator and vectorize it and export as png

don't do this, then it's not vector, this guy is an idiot.

This is what you do, expand you strokes, select everything with similar color.

If that does not work use pathfinder tools to weld away unwanted elements.
