while replace color will work you will not get a nice sharp edged letter and
the image will look deteriorated. On a gif those options will be greyed out
so you must change mode to RGB or other first.


If you plan to use this logo in any other document or larger sizes for
future I suggest re-doing it
YOU need to identify the font FIRST
(whatdafont.com)

file new (make it in RGB mode) use decent resolution like 300-400 in case
you need it bigger later for print etc
fill with 50% gray

type the text, (open character palette)

use kerning etc for spacing the letters so close
put the text layer on 0% fill
it will look invisible don't worry
click the little f at bottom of layer palette
choose bevel -emboss
tick the down box
pillow emboss? or other to get the look of impression
then use stroke
change it to white, change thickness

DONE
