Maybe the Georgia logo example was a poor one.
Most of the logos are free-form shapes (not ovals, squares or polygons) that need to loose their background and appear against the helmet color. There are a bunch of these to do for ACC, SEC, and the pros too, so I am looking for the quickest way to get them done.

My problem (basically was either not reading the manual or it isn't there) is that I was trying to put my mask in the "alpha" channel when it should be going in the "opacity mask" layer... duuhhh...  anyway Mark's superb tutorials got my head straight on this. I gotta spend more time with his tuts!

Thanks for the help
