So, I have removed the background of the logo for my site, but the background of my site is a dark grey. As a result, the logo has a white border around it that looks messy. I use GIMP for editing and I'm not sure how I could remove the outline without spending hours removing each pixel. Thanks.

I like to create some shapes outside problematic area and changes the stroke/fill to background:
Outside -
Inside -

1@HarryK What do you mean charge? We don't look for clients here :) - try to identify the font and replace it... i.e. recreate the whole logo yourself :))– IlanOct 10, 2014 at 16:20

How do you create that outside shape like in that 1st image and what did you do right after that - you filled it?– user29318Oct 10, 2014 at 20:53
Try a combination of adding a inner stroke of 1-2 px, inner glow of 1-2 px and a inner shadow that's 1-2 px. All dark. This will make the inner edges of your logo dark - hence mix itself better with the background. This is a fix that works with your dark background.
If you need it for another colored background - make the effects in the same color. To make the logo workable for all kinds of backgrounds you must edit its edges better, and it may still not be smooth.
