There are some threads from back somewhere that explain it better than I can remember how, but until you find them you can try this:

The emblems I've made have been 256x256 pixels, 72 pixels per inch, 16/24 million color .tga files - if you have a picture that isn't the whole square and you don't want a square background to show up, if you flood fill the surrounding background with a color that is R:9, G:13 and B:31 it will make the surrounding part of the square transparent so only the part you want will show up on your sub.

You can use any good image editing program that can save .tga files this way - I use JASC Paint Shop Pro (Version 7 or so IIRC).

There may be something about layers that I've left off - I never really fully understood that part even when I did mine, and it was a long time since I've messed with them.

Good luck and good hunting!
