GIMP shapes?

If you are trying to cut an image into the shape of another image (better if all one solid color), I usually use the magic wand tool to select all the space around the shape image, invert the selection, switch to the layer of the image I want to cut out and delete everything in the selection.

What exactly are you trying to do?

When making a wordmark in GIMP, make sure that all the layer have an alpha channel.

All that said, Photoshop is a 1000 times better.
