Layer Mask help
#4

You need to make your logo black /white. Not difficult
It already has an alpha channel so use Colors ->  Color-to-Alpha to lose the yellow
Then lose the alpha,  (make sure the BG is set to white) Layer -> Transparency -> Remove Alpha  Channel

Do you need to remove the embellishments ? Up to you.

Then it is into the destination image, add a layer mask Layer -> Mask -> Add layer Mask  Use white.

Copy the logo. Into the destination image, click in the mask icon to make it active, paste the logo and anchor it.

Not knowing what you are using as a destination so a 3 minute video of the basics https://youtu.be/t5uLKceiWfA
Thank you for your help thus far Rich. I've followed your video so far and I have my outline. What I'm trying to do is then take that outline and put it on the attached image as a layer mask so on my website people can change the color of the outline. Instead of having the whole logo, how could I just have the layer mask be the black outline of the logo so I can fit it to the logo on the attached zip up? I hope that made sense but if not let me know and I will try to explain in better detail.
