Here go Alex, I have the psd file if you want it, its seems a bit jagged though, if your using PS to make it remove the bg layer assuming its all on separate layer, the use merge down on the layers, not flatten image as that will make the bg white, and save it a transparent gif using Save For Web

It will always be jaggy if you use the selection tool, the one I posted is transparent but jaggy, I'll see if I can remake it for you
 
Alex this is pretty easy to do yourself.

Open the logo in PS then duplicate the layer, now select the white background and hit the delete key.

Next drag the background layer to the rubbish bin to delete it, and save the remaining layer as a PSD file if for a print or GIF for the web.

Now you can open that file at any time and drag it onto a new background of your choice.

paul thank you

i see you have the ants in the 1st one which tool is it and hwo did you get it so good

so sorry i have only done minimum photoshop work currently watching videos , but the ones i see are either not the right ones or it is for doing somethign difrently

i am trying to learn working with layers so i do appologies i know there is another tutorial around here but i got stuck with that one too lol

looking to do some at a night time college in september as i may be able to get funding to do it
 
You duplicate the background layer by dragging it to the little curled page icon in the layers pallet.

I used the magic wand tool set to contiguous and a tolerance of 30 then holding the Alt key down click around the white background.

Dave at 100% viewing there are no jaggies, did you remember to tick the Anti alias box?

Yes if you zoom in more than 100% you will see jaggy's on any image including ones straight from the camera if you zoom in enough.

It is if you can see jaggy's at 100% or print size that matters, at the size this image was supplied 480 x 403px there are none showing and that is what counts for output. :)

At 729 px that you have posted it at that is nearly double it actual viewing size!

Yep thats the one I used and posted as a trans Gif they are visible at 480x430 :thumbs:

I know I showed you at 729 that so you can see them :thumbs:
 
When you have the selection of marching ants try expanding the selection by 1 or 2 pixels to just cover the edge of the black before deleting the background. This should remove the white ring. Try feathering it by 1 or 2 pixels as well to reduce the jaggy effect.

That wont work as its selected the approximate jagged pixels, all that would achieve is make the outline jagged but thinner, (would work on Vector or rasta but not in this case) and feathering will make it worse, best way was fill the white with the colour of the page :thumbs: as I assume Alex did
