Repeat the same steps as above to create the large logo, starting first by selecting the "School_Conf_Large_Logo_480" template.

When you go to use the "BG Remover", its possible that part of the logo could get erased or lose its quality. If that happens, I utilize other apps to solidify the logo. On my PC, I use Paint 3D and the Magic Select feature. Once solid, I copy and paste the logo back on to Canva, go through all of the steps above EXCEPT for the BG Remover. You don't want to use the BG Remover if you had to solidify the logo by using 3D Paint or another app. It will cause other quality issues with the logo. Apple computers do not have the 3D Paint app.
