Take the tour ×  Im kind of new to illustrator and wanted to
creat a simple logo, so here what I did:  changed background
color to black and text color to white, used typography for
text, created outlines to convert text to objects and (heres the
funny part) I used black pen tool to amend my typography, so
most of the corners of the typography are changed. On black
background it looks nice, but when I change background color it
looks really messy. How should I delete the unwanted part of the
drawn typography and merge wanted part with my text objects?  I
tried same-> select by fill color, but it doesnt select
everything what I need illustrator  thanks in advance.

your background on it's own layer, you can show/hide it to help
see what you're doing, but it's def not mandatory. You can lock
that shape so you're only able to select your typography
(whatever fits best here).  The tool you want (for how you're
describing things) is the white arrow.
