Not sure at this point what your issue is besides the PNG8: not working correctly? Your first step is SVG to PNG, I presume. So what is the question, once you have it as PNG?
Your image had an alpha channel that was the mask. The image was Class: DirectClass and Type: GrayscaleMatte. The image had a white box on a black background with black edges and black "Jobs" written on it. The alpha mask was white for the box interior and black outside (except not pure b/w but had some antialiasing of the edges). Thus where (near) black you got transparency and where (near) white you got your box image. What is that you want to do? Change the background around the box from transparent to some other color? Or is change the image to Class: PseudoClass and Type: GrayscaleMatte to make its filesize smaller? The latter can be done as simply: convert jobs_original.png GIF:- | convert - jobs_original_gif_png8.png without the PNG8: prefix Don't know why PNG8: is not working correctly as in: convert jobs_original.png PNG8:jobs_original_png8.png but you should report it to the bugs forum at http://www.imagemagick.org/discourse-server/viewforum.php?f=3 I would also suggest you use the User's forum at http://www.imagemagick.org/discourse-server/viewforum.php?f=1 in stead of the Magick Users List as it is easier to reply and you will likely get more viewers and responders.
