You can use any program that can modify and save .tga files. I use photoshop and it's actually really easy. I'm sure that there are other programs, but that's what I use. I usually stay around 256 x 256 pixels (that's what most of the other emblems are) but haven't tried anything with much higher res.

I enjoy using my own emblems--kind of personalizes my boat for real ;)

Cheers,

I like to use GIMP http://gimp-win.sourceforge.net/stable.html
I cant afford Photoshop, GIMP is free

I'm no great techy but I wanted to do this and it was really easy. I wanted to put the Silver Fern (New Zealand's All Blacks rugby team logo) on the side of my sub. I gound a 'square' jpg image via Google Image Search, saved it into Photoshop, re-saved as a *.tga file, and put it into the game using the instructions in the SH3 Community Manual. Worked like dream.

If you don't have PhotoShop, ther's a free app called IrfanView that will save tga files.
