Use Photoshop to create transparency. To do this you will want to be in RGB mode (image>mode) and rename the background layer to layer 1 (or something else).

Now you can use the eraser, magic wand or other methods to make areas transparent (a checkerboard will indicate the area is transparent).

Finally, use Save for Web, select GIF, and choose a matte color that is close to the color of the background the logo will appear on.

After saving for GIF, save as a psd so you will be able to save for different color backgrounds in the future.
