Photoshop or something question

I have a question maybe someone can point me in the right direction or help me out.Here it is:
I have my fishing logo and I'm trying to find out how when I paste it onto a color page it is just the lines and not the white background. It's fine if I paste it on a white surface but anytime like color (like my website) it shows as a white box. I don't know if I'm explaining this so it can be understood or not but I hope so. I'll post a pic of the logo below to try to show what I mean. Someone told me that I should put the logo on a clear background so wherever I pasted it the color would show through but I have no idea how to do that. Thanks for any help that you may be able to give me.

I would think that you can choose what color you wanted to copy. Maybe try to figure out how to pick just the blk and copy and paste it. Do you have the option of layers?

what you need to do is make the background transparent... which can be done in photoshop..... than save it as a .png or .psd file.... someone might know better than me... but that's how i've always done it...

Thats the part I don't know how to do and I was hoping that someone that knew more about photoshop could help me with.
I have photoshop 7 but don't hardly ever use it.

Closed Got it worked out Thanks
