Hard to lighten something that's black without washing it out. But if there is some shadow detail, then Levels or Curves can help.

Sounds like a problem someone else was having. Make absolutely sure the logo is 256 x 256 pixels and a PNG-24 image.

I suppose you could double the logo somehow.

Razor sharp steel still has a smooth flawless edge. Aliasing = ragged edge.

Can you post the original PNGs and an example PNG that is "freaking out" so I can improve my instructions to catch this problem?
