Make sure to save it as a png file.

Here is my own work file when I made an InuYasha logo for fanart.tv.

I used the path tool to cut it out exactly and built it from there. 

You can check out some of the tutorial videos from the site if you want.

You can download tons of logos there if you need them. Here are some of mine I made in gimp.
