Is there a way to up the quality of a logo?

I designed a logo in Photoshop, and it looked alright when exported and on Flickr, but I added it to the forum that the logo would represent and it looks terrible.

I've set up those forums for the time being, but they won't be the finished forums. As you can see, it's the same image as the one in my sig, but it's much lower quality on the site.

Does anyone know how I can make the quality better? It's a .gif BTW. It's the only file extension I can use.

Hmm, an idea might be to have the transparency colour match the main background forum colour, that way when you dropper select it to make it transparent, any rough edges around the .gif will roughly match the background, as opposed to what you seem to have now, using white as the transparency.

Here they are side by side.

Did you change settings at all? Are you editing from a .psd, or a .gif. One is twice the size with lower quality.

Why not just use the .gif from your signature on the forum, it is the same size.

You've definitely created two different files, with altered output settings.

Yeah, I just used the signature logo. Why didn't I think of that in the first place?

Thanks Amalgam
