Photoshop's Magic Wand Tool

I grabbed the Super Metroid logo from Bing. It was on a black background. I used the magic wand tool to remove the background from around the logo as well as inside the letters. The best part is that I didn't read the manuals, I just messed around and figured it out myself. Like a boss.

Congrats!  I used photoshop to make my stuff too (even though I've been recommended to you GIMP or PIMP or whatever it's called).  Magic wand is great!  Only problem is; sometimes (like when I download a retail cover from this site and try to "magic wand" out the background from the game title; the colors overlap and it erases some of the title graphics that i'm trying to keep.  When that happens, I zoom in, and go in pixel by pixel and delete away what I don't want.  Takes a while; but it's a lot better than magic wand deleting half of your intended target.  Not really a problem though if you're wanding away an all black background from a red logo.
