Transparent logo backgrounds

Well now that I am going to re-type all these logos...

Has anyone made the backgrounds in their logos transparent?

I am messing around in photoshop, but can't get it to work. Is it a limitation of Sage to not be able to display the alpha channel info?

If someone has found a way to make logos with no white BG's...how did you do it?

After erasing the background to make it transparent in Photoshop, make sure you save it in a format that supports transparency -- examples: .png does; .jpg does not. (I don't know which part of that process you are missing.)

.png ... that's the info I was looking for. Thanks. I miss very little when it's well explained.

Where would be the best place to post the modified logo's when I finish renaming them all, so that somebody else with the same satellite system doesn't have to do what has taken me awhile?

The SageTV Community site has a page for LOGO Packs.
