    Maybe a case of an improperly configured palette?

    all i did was open up that 256 color bmp on the left in halflife logo creator, resized it, then made it into a wad with that.

    I don't get what you mean, do you want it to have transparency or something? If you want it to have transparency the black would have to be true blue (i.e 0, 0, 255), if you mean the colors aren't right that's just the gamma at work.

    With or without transparency, the last color in the palette has to be pure blue.

    Ok, if you really want to make a awsome custom spray, do not use the wizard. It seriously messes things up.

    First make sure it is divisible by 16. (the bmp file)
    Then make a new .wad file.
    Insert it in there.

    It will have higher quality

    Try this one. It looks quite like the source color-wise, but of course, the size couldn't be retained, so it might be a little blurry.
