    You need to tell the image to be PNG.

    Is it not the case where you have a PNG image on a stretched background you need to put in a placeholder to avoid the non-stretched background silhouette that appears as a rectangle surrounding the PNG?

    You don't notice it most times, but the issue becomes apparent particular on high-res displays.

    BTW: I used the Chris/Egg reworked logo - much cleaner. The other two subsidiary logos would be better as graphics and text, or high-res PNGs. Where you wanted all three, you could just combine them.

    Even with a stretched background, if you tell Xara the graphic is PNG it works. The default is 'Let Xara Decide'...which is never PNG.

    I ended up with a slight snag though. As you can see the background of the completed logo took on the background of the photo.
    Bill no big thing, it just sound like you've made a bitmap copy but forgot to choose True Colour + Alpha.

    I think it might need to be PNG in case anyone overlooked the cause.
    Just proves how helpful we are in TG.

    Solved. Changing to png did the trick. Never would have found that in a million years.
    I’m not sure where Xara would be without you fellas. I have about 25 pages of tips from all of you in a file. A terrific learning experience. I can read code, but I can’t write it, but have learned a ton of information from the forum.
    Many Thanks, you’re all a credit to Xara.
