Hello everyone, Been having a blast with my recent arcade build and really am appreciating and enjoying the Launchbox/BigBox front-end. My first Noob question: what is everyone using to make a custom clear logo for any playlists where one doesn't exist? I don't have Photoshop. I tried the method of Powerpoint (to be able to put a picture fill in the text), putting the box-fill transparency to 100%, then copy/pasting to Paint to crop and save as a .png. Tried it a couple different times and ways and as you can see below, I failed. This seems like it should be fairly easy, but I can't find a straight answer. I have several more playlists to do for things like Spinner games and Trackball games so any help/advice is much appreciated.

Thanks much to you both for the great advice.
I downloaded Gimp and followed this Link (for anyone else looking for directions) and I have it working well. It is a fairly simple thing, but I hadn't run into a quick tutorial on search and I'm beyond a total noob on graphic art. Really appreciate your offer @DeadVoivod, as well, to make them for me...that was mighty kind of you.
