If you are familiar with html/css you can try opening up page.tpl.php in your theme folder and removing <img src="<?php print $logo ?>" /> and replacing it with <img src"<?php print base_path() . path_to_theme() ?>/path/to/logo-name.gif" />
The theme config option to upload images supports png only, the simplest option would just be to export your image as png :)

Thanks xabooth,
I tried this one but won't work.
i removed the following line

Only local images are allowed. print check_url($logo) " alt=" print $site_name " id="logo" />
and replaced with

Only local images are allowed. print base_path().path_to_theme() http://mysite.com/demo/sites/MyNewSite/files/logo.gif" id="logo" />

Is it correct.
Please reply.

waiting for your reply.

Yes, if your logo is not that complicated I suggest you edit it to PNG format.

Because you can just drop it inside your themes folder and considering your theme's settings is correct, It will automatically get picked up as the default logo.

with regards to transparency, IE6 is also a big trouble for me but there's a lot of png fixes for IE, I believe there's even a module for it.

I tried this on a custom Zen sub-theme, because my logo.png did not show well in IE6. So I exported it in gif format and renamed the new file logo.gif to logo.png.
Moreover, the original png file was 35 КВ, and after the conversion it shrinked to 2 KB !?

Open the file "theme.inc" from "includes" folder... search for "/logo.png" and change it to"/logo.gif" or "/logo.jpg"

^ the above is a terrible idea. Hacking a core .inc file for a simple logo alteration is silly.

goto administer -> themes -> configure (the theme in use)
locate the logo area
upload new logo in any extension you want

One could also change this at the theme level if they wanted to "hack" away, by hardcoding the logo into page.tpl.php

<?php
function phptemplate_preprocess_page(&$vars) {
  $vars['logo'] = base_path() . path_to_theme() . '/logo.gif';
}
?>
