Thanks

The easiest way is to go to Image>Adjustments>Selective Color... In the dialog box select the Blues from the colors pop-up list. Decrease the Cyan to -100% and increase the Magenta to +100%. Do this to the Cyans, Reds and Magentas Colors as well. Add Yellow if the logo is getting too pinkish.
It may take a couple of steps - click okay and go to Selective Color again to see that the sliders have reset to zero.
You can fine tune the color by going to Image>Adjustments>Curves or Levels to get the color you need.
Hope this helps,
