Filmora also allows you to customize the shape of your logo image. Go to Effects tab and select Utility under Filters menu, choose Image Mask and drag it within the Logo image in the track.

Double click the Logo image in the timeline and you will see some mask presets. Choose one mask and fine adjust its position, width, height and feather settings to get a perfect look.
