my only thing is that that gif 128 web snap may not be the call of the day. You may need to go up to 256 for more color info. Also you may need to play with the matte color. Sorry to complicate things but with a company's branding image you really cant mess up. The age old "You only get on chance to make a first impression" line.

post the image also if you can.

okay for that 128 is cool...sometimes a logo may contain a gradient or fade. For this use 256 to get a cleaner fade. And matte should be in the export window of what ever program you are using. And the logo is not bad.

okay matte fills in the jaggies around the edges to give the edge a smoother look. Now if you have a black bgrd and you use a white matte. Your logo will appear to have a halo around the edges. But is you use a black matte the edges will look smooth. Matte really is only used for curves and contours. If your image was a perfect box you would not have to worry about since the edges are all straight.
