Quote: I am trying to crop the Im"Untitled presentation.jpg" which is a small layer into the circular path. the small layer is currently a square and I want to make it a circle

That is the required information.

For the "Untitled presentation.jpg" layer, it needs an alpha channel to emulate  transparency. Layer -> Transparency -> Add alpha channel

Then use the circular 'selection' path to make your circular selection again Select -> From Path

That selection is the center of the logo and you want the outside, so Select -> Invert

Now cut the selection Edit -> Cut

What you do then depends how far you are along making the logo.  Add more detail. Use the crop tool if the lettering is above the logo or shrink down to just the logo.

Edit:
A bit of spare time, going back over your image and another way of getting there. Just for information, there are always other ways, no one way is correct, just some are better than others. The more you practice with Gimp the easier it becomes. Maybe for your next logo Wink
