Extra Comments: Hello ! We already have a logo which we are very happy with. However, because of our background which stays static, the logo shows the box that it is in. If you have a look at our front page you will se what I mean, you can see the edge box of the logo. However when we try to change this it doesn't work and you can still see the outline. Is there a way to have the logo and text without a background/transparent background so you can see the forum background through it ? Or is there some other way ?
We have PhotoShop CS3 extended if it can be done in there - but when we don't have a background then save it, the background becomes white on the forum.
I really appreciate any good responses as we have been trying to sort this for the last five months without any success !!!

I am so sorry, I mean the logo, not the shop banner - but could you tell me how you did that hoodedwarbler12 as I think that would look nicer than what we have !!

If you look at at the logo, the bit with the outline of a boat and where it says SEALINE forum.co.uk you can see its on a plain blue background, but the forum background isn't plain and looks messy. What I would really like is to just have the logo and wording on the forum background.

Thanks so much for your help so far....

Thanks so much !

I have Photoshop CS and I think I've caught up with you. I have been using JPeg files which always put a white background in, but you used a PNG file which doesnt !

Thanks for solving - very much appreciated and thanks to hoodedwarbler too !
