I am pretty much missing it, too.
But as always on Affinity Forums, a few hardcore posters decide over the masses of sometime-posters.
No idea why the money and wishes of a few "Dedicated Poster" is more important than the money and wishes of the masses. And until this changes, Affinity will stay a unimportant niche product. Sadly.

There are several ways.
 
 
If the background is white, you can go Filters > Colours > Erase White Paper. Best for black bitmap logos on a white background
 
If you select from sampled colours and are happy with what you have selected, the first option is to invert the selection Select > Invert Pixel Selection so you have everything selected but the bit you want and press the delete key. You will be left with just the selection you made.
 
If you make a selection and click on the little mask icon in layers, or go Layer > New Mask Layer that will make a mask for you
 
Second option, once you have made your selection, you can duplicate the layer Layer > Duplicate or (Ctrl J) and that will just put your selection (and only your selection) onto a new layer. Everything else on that layer will be transparent and the original layer is untouched. Hide the original layer (tick on the right) so you can tell or you will think nothing has happened.

Thank you for sharing that template with us.
