    Using a layer mask with a gradient instead of the marquee/feather/delete solution would be better since it is non-destructive and adjustable.

  2. Hamza Says:

    Well,
    If you are designing the logo for a site/client rather than a template, this way is much better.

    Since logo edits will not be needed time and again.
