In your sample image, I don't see a "logo to the left".  Do you see it 
when you look at your PNG ?

I don't know why there is an outline in the word.  That's not right at 
all unless that's what the font you used looks like (with an outline in it).

When you create the word, be sure your background is the color you want 
(I forget whether you want colored letters on white background or the 
opposite).  And be sure you using the opposite color when creating the 
word.  There is no "messing around" beyond that -- in regard to the 
word.  It should be created at the size you want and then not messed 
with (which means that to create other sizes, you should retain access 
to your original source of the font).  For best quality text, don't 
later enlarge or shrink, re-create at the needed size (this is where a 
properly constructed scalable font in a vector-based program is most 
helpful).
