Visual filter for all quotations (OT and NT)
I'd like to apply a visual filter to make all the quotations be highlighted or stand out. Does such a filter exist? If not, how could I make one? Thank you for your help with this matter.

Option 1: You can find where Isaiah is quoted in the NT with the search {Speaker <Person Isaiah>}. Limit the search or Visual Filter to New Testament. For the Pentateuch, {Speaker <Person Moses>} seems to work. Some quotations are tagged {Speaker <Thing Scripture>}. You could add all of the OT books that are quoted in the NT to this visual filter. It might even be an advantage, since you could use a different color for each OT book or author.
The tagging lacks consistency. It would helpful if all OT quotations were tagged {Speaker <Person Scripture>}.
Option 2: A more efficient way is to search on the Intertext Label to find Intertextual relationships. Use the following searches in your Visual Filter:
{Label Intertext WHERE Relationship="Quotation"}
{Label Intertext WHERE Relationship="Citation"}
{Label Intertext WHERE Relationship="Echo"}
{Label Intertext WHERE Relationship="Allusion"}
I don't know if there are other Intertextual tags. Obviously there are differences of opinion about how to tag these intertextual relationships, but this would show you how Logos has tagged the various passages.
This would be a slow Visual Filter, so I would not leave it on all of the time.
I could not find a way to search on these directly from the Context menu. It took me a while to dig around and find the tags.

Note that the correct search for Scripture as the speaker is {Speaker <Thing Scripture>}. For some reason, Logos does not tag all OT quotations with Scripture with the author.
I don't know if there is a list of all of the Speaker tags somewhere.

To clarify I want to highlight all quotations of speech not the quotations of the Bible. So in Mark 1:40 I'd like to highlight what I've italicized:
And a leper came to him, imploring him, and kneeling said to him, "If you will, you can make me clean."

Sorry -- I misunderstood.
The start of a quotation is indicated by the megaphone icon in the text of a Bible. To turn this on, go to the Visual Filters and select Speaker Labels.

If you want to change the display of the whole quotation, create a Visual Filter with the following search:
<LDGNT = Reported Speech> OR <LDHB = Reported Speech>
LDGNT searches on the Lexham Discourse Greek New Testament discourse tags. LDHB searches on Lexham Discourse Hebrew Bible discourse tags
I created a visual filter like this and set the highlighting to red underlining.
