Didn't get you question.
If it was a GIG - they didn't set transperency rigth way in#1...

but if background for this image will be always white - you can have jpg of gif with no transperency - just image on white.... what is the problem ?

Is the blue globe a PNG file? And if so, did you save it as a PNG in photoshop?

Photoshop + PNG + Displaying in Internet Explorer = Use the Gimp (http://www.gimp.org/) to save PNGs because Photoshop semi-messes it up and Internet Explorer semi-messes it up to.

It has to do with the color compensation method used by Photoshop that gets embedded into each PNG automatically. All browsers, it seems, interpret this correct except for Internet Explorer.

Bottom line: When using Photoshop, save things as GIFs or JPGs. If you want PNGs, use the Gimp (And yes you can open PSD files in the Gimp).

Internet Explorer doesn't render transparent PNG files properly, though the preliminary IE 7 in the Vista releases fixes this.
