April,
What type of file are you trying to use? The examples posted are jpegs which should be fine if that’s what went to FCP.
Definitely don’t want it to be a CMYK. Go into Photoshop and open your logo. Then go to Image, Mode and change to RGB and save.

I imported them as JPEGs, and they changed colors. So I just tried importing them as PNGs and it worked. Thanks!

Sorry, I meant I tried JPEGs, those changed colors, so then I tried TIFFs and those remained the initial colors, so I used those.

yeah just make sure to monitor that on a broadcast monitor. That red/yellow high saturation color combo tends to bleed excessively. Looks fine on the computer monitor but broadcast is another story.
