    Make a new file with a transparent background and copy the old one over it.

    Thanks

    You have to do the following:

    If the layer with the logo has a chain lock, press double click on the layer and then click accept. That will remove the lock.
    After that, use any selection tool (Like the magic wand), select the blue (All the extra part) and then just delete it. That should do it.
    Also, don't forget to save it either as gif with transparency or PNG.


    Good luck!

    Great advice from Sanma.

    To avoid possible jaggies you can set a matte (I think it's called) to match the colour the transparent logo will overlay.

    Make sure you have a transparent background and then save it in .gif or .png

    Save it as a 24-png and if it comes out bad on IE6, google "IE6 png fix"
