I'm new to using SVGs and can't figure out what I'm doing wrong here. For most of them, if I want to change the color, I use:
svg path { fill: blue; }
But for this one - and other's I've come across - for some reason this way doesn't work.
Here's a fiddle demonstrating the problem

Thanks
If you are not in control of your SVG, (perhaps because it comes from an external source you are re-theming,) you are stuck using ! important to override the SVG fill property. If your SVG is in your code base, it is much better to set fill="currentColor" , and then set the CSS color property.
You're largely limited to a single color with icon fonts in a way that SVG isn't, but still, it is appealingly easy to change that single color with color . Using inline SVG allows you to set the fill , which cascades to all the elements within the SVG, or you can fill each element separately if needed.
you can just add !important
beside fill
.logo-wrapper svg { width: 300px; } .logo-wrapper svg path{ fill: green !important; } .logo-wrapper svg text{ fill: green !important; }
