The easiest way would be to select your image with the marquee tool, then copy it to the clipboard, then with the elipse marquee tool drag an elipse, then "paste into" the elipse. Then with the Move tool, you can drag the logo around inside the elipse until you get it positioned where you want. Make sense?

To elaborate further.
Using the Marquee tool is fine. Easier yet is to capture the portion of the image you want with the Marquee oval tool, Copy it, then open a new window, and paste it in.
Make sure that the background is either transparent or the same color as the background of the page where it will be posted.
