DJ Cel has developed a plugin called "ShowLogo" (if I remember well). You can put a logo where you want and you can also apply a transparency colour.

A bitmap is better than a jpeg if you intend to make a logo like MTV

Photoshop nor illustrator save to bitmap format that I'm aware of. Not even "saving for the web" within Image Ready. Secondly, how do you get a tranparent background when saved as such to even open within the much valued plug-in? Paint will only save files that have a colored background from my experiences.
Photoshop saves as: psd, eps, jpeg, pds, pdf, raw, sct or tiff.
Illustrator saves as: ai, pdf, eps, ait, svg or svgz.
Image Ready saves as: gif, jpeg, png, swf, svg and wbmp (which Ill assume as windows bitmap).
Out of all the formats these high end design programs, only gif, png and svg save with transparent or no visible matte backgrounds.
I have yet to get ShowLogo to even want to load a gif or jpeg file. Crossing fingers with the latest build and will keep you posted.
Many thanks for taking the time and making such a wonderful plugin in the first place.

A jpg created with a transparent background and a black type only logo will not open in ShowLogo.
Neither a 32, 64 or 128 bit gif will open within ShowLogo (created in Photoshop and saved via Image Ready).
Nor a 8 and 16 bit png file. Nor does a mono, 16, 256 color or 24 bit bmap created within paint.
Am I missing something here?!

Ok, I finally figured out as you open a file you have to select its "type" in the drop down box below the files name to be opened.
The "mask" feature is awesome! I'm wondering if I created a black background (since transparent dont seem to work) and make my type white, if itll show up nicer?
Again, many thanks for the program in the first place and all the time youve spent on it.
It would be nice if there was a small read me file included with the description or zipped within the file tself. This would be the case for all plug-ins =D

There is a hidden slider to change the color of the "transparent background color" (between white, black, red, green, blue). You need a skin with a high browser. Sorry for that.
In fact, it's not really a transparent background but it detects a background color (by default the real white) and removes it. It was easier for people in order to use it with paint ;-)

Cel, I get the 'unable to open file' error but it still opens it, that's with jpegs. I just ignore the error
