Image cleanup help

Care to share the logo you’re playing with? That would help folks to help you.

The PNG looks like it was made from something that had a background that left a lot of artifacts.

You should be able to go directly to ffa.org and download a vector (AI, PDF, EPS) directly. You will have to register but that shouldn’t be a big deal.

The PDF should go right in the Glowforge app.

Getting a fresh copy from FFA is the way to go – the graphic in the PNG started life as a JPEG or other “lossy” format.
