Blender 2.8 Cycles Importing Image as Plane isn't transparent I'm importing a logo image as a Plane and putting it on top of an object:



However, the image appears with the checkered pattern behind the image - not the actual Blender object ... which defeats the purpose of the transparency.

At the same time, even when I render the image completely in cycles, it still shows the checkered pattern!

My material settings for the logo image:





How can I get rid of the checkered pattern and make the image truly transparent and blended in with the objects in my scene?
@rjg got it right.  Turns out the transparency pattern in the back was inside the image itself - might be because of Google Images.

Everything is working smoothly now!
