That png's not transparent, you can see the edge. Open up photoshop or paint.net. Select a new layer, draw your shape, and opacitate it so that it's as transparent as you want it to be. Drag other layers onto it if you like, like the black gloss shape in the image above. Cut the image to the size you want and save as a .png. Ta-da-transparent png. If it's only the shape above, and if you want to post a mock of how transparent you want it against a background, I'll do it for you.
