DrR0M created this one. You can download it from here, just backup your half-life\cstrike\pldecal.wad and replace it with the one you downloaded.

How to create your own custom logo:

How to create your own single colour logo:
(There are extensive instructions in the Half-Life Readme.txt on how to create your own single colour decal, however, let me quickly run over the process.)

• Create a greyscale image 64x64 pixel's in size. Make sure the palette order is from white to black (0.0.0 255.255.255) Black will be completely transparent, white will be opaque, anything half way will be semi-transparent.
• Draw your logo Save it in \half-life\logos\ as a .bmp file
• Start the game, go to the customise menu, cycle through the logos til yours appears.

How to create your own 256 colour logo
This is a slightly more difficult process, the basic steps are:

• Create a 256 colour 8 bit BMP file under 10752 pixels in size (eg Max dimensions are 96x112 or 112x96) - 64*128 Seams to be a good choice.
• Last position in the palette must be the only entry of plain blue (0 0 255) - This can be changed in the graphic editor or the bmp importer Wally - others may have this feature too
• Insert the BMP into the pldecal.wad using a program like wally

FAQ for colour logos (aka, why the hell doesn't it work):

Nothing appears when I spray my logo:
Check the size of your logo, it cannot be larger then 10752 pixels (that's the width x height) Make sure it was an 8-bit 256-colour graphic Make sure you have put the pldecal.wad in your \half-life\cstrike\ directory Check you can see other decals, bullet holes, blood, other peoples logos etc, there is a bug with some video modes, try adjusting your gl_polyoffset value and check your r_decals isnt 0

People say they can't see my logo:
Or say it looks like I've sprayed a hostage rescue zone or something else or Some guy just sprayed (inset odd decal name here) on the wall, what gives? Since custom designed logos are just that - custom designed, they have to be transferred from person to person before they can be seen. If someone sprays a logo before you have it cs will stick some other decal in there. (Usually the 'hostage rescue zone' one.) If you don't have cl_allowdownload set to one, then you wont download other peoples logos (doesnt waste bandwidth for modem users) also if you don't have cl_allowupload set to one also you will not send your custom logo to the server for people to retrieve and thus no one will see it. Check the size of your wad, most servers won't accept a wad bigger then 15kb

My logo has reverted to a default one:
Or looks greyish / washed out / isn't in the customise menu. DO NOT visit the customise menu after you have copied the pldecal.wad - it does horrible things to it, if you have done this, recopy the pldecal.wad file again Make sure the last palette colour of the image is RGB 0 0 255 (Full blue) and that its in the last position in the palette (index 255).
