I managed to blag my way through photoshop and got it transparent, but i've ended up with all the white edges. Can someone fix this problem for me please?

Thanks for trying, seems very jagged on the edges though. Is there any way to make it sharp around the edges like it looks in this:

Nah, we can do better, things are a little slow in the icon department right now.
