I had this happen too. To be honest, I can't really remember how I fixed it! I designed my logo in Photoshop, and I think I had to do something like save the jpeg as a transparency or something, so that the cropped oval didn't have a white square background. There was also a way to crop that I wasn't using that would have worked....I'm sorry I can't be more help!! I do remember that I eventually found the answer by googling "crop oval in photoshop" or something.

I got them off Amazon - check Beck's thread here for really great directions on which ones to order:

They were the cheapest I could find, even with shipping, etc. However, I know people get them from Staples and other places like that too.

To get rid of the white box around your logo, you need to save the image as PNG (Portable Network Graphic). When you go to save the image, click on transparency and choose the same colour of the background that you want transparent. It should save the image not the colour background that you chose. I am using Paint Shop Pro, which is a great program.
Best of luck!

I got mine off amazon too but if you have an office depot closing near you that is another place to look, I found horizontal ones at the one closing near me and scooped them up to use for room card holders. They are advantus badge holders.
