: Adobe Illustrator - Hiding masked portions from selection? Cutting or masking a muti-layer and already masked section? It's difficult for me to explain what I'm trying to achieve, hopefully this

@Goswami567

Ensure all the elements of the circle logo are grouped, so you can
easily select it.
Draw a circle, then a square, then position them over your logo.
Select both the circle and the square, and hit the Minus Front
button in the Path Finder to make a circle shape with the square cut
out of it.
Use that shape as your clipping mask, and apply it to the circle
logo, by selecting both the logo group and the mask, then click
Object > Clipping Mask > Make.


See the example showing the clipping mask in red, and applied to the logo.

Draw a circle the same size and thickness as the blue circle. Cut out the square from the new circle in the same place as above. Do this by selecting square and circle and hitting pathfinder/divide, ungroup and delete square. Your new circle is now a C shape. Place it exactly over the blue C, select both, right click and select Make clipping mask. You should now have your blue C with no dangley bits. Should reproduce fine in PS.
