Hey Koohead,
The reason that your logo's are looking like that is because they do not have a trasparent background, I do not use GIMP, I use Paint Shop Pro 8. BUT, Cephasjames uses GIMP, you may want to send him a PM, I think he is pretty good with it. Good luck and let us know what you find out, so others can learn from this. BTW, nice MLB logo.
