How do I make the background transparent in my logo?

I agree with Nancy.

Additional question...Is this a logo that is already created that you are bringing into Photoshop, but you want the background to be transparent once it's placed?

Start with a Transparent document background.

File > New > Background Contents: Transparent.

A transparent background is denoted by a checkerboard pattern instead of a solid color.

When you're finished editing your image go to File > Export As or Legacy Save for Web as a PNG file with transparency. See screenshot.

There was no transparent option when I created a new file. Only White, Black or Background Color. What'd I do wrong?

Let's try something else, do you see a layer labeled Background in your layers panel (it might be locked)? If so, hide or delete that layer and you should see the transparent (checkerboard) background.

Then you should be able to finish the instructions to export it to a PNG.
