What do you use to make mission patches and how?

[Aerodynamic Kerbal]

I, myself really want to make stuff in my space program more cool-ish. I'm planning on recreating the T-38 and that one "flying bedstead". And mission patches. Now, I use Paint and they're not so cool. Take a look at some old ones I made:

the second is in fact unfinished, because I wanted to use text curve on Gimp but I was a little lazy. Oh and it represents my newest failure mission.  (no, no, NOOOOO, I WILL BRING THEM HOME ONE DAY!)

You should check out the following thread; 

You will need to use an SVG editor like Inkscape instead of paint, but it is free to use. Details are in the post. 

This is one of mine... 

You can use different fonts in it as well. I used one called Space Age in this example

Is GIMP ok?

GIMP is a raster graphics editor application. SVG is a form of vector graphics. You can get some gimp plugins to help, but a good vector graphics program would be better and it doesn't take too long to get the hang of it.

But the choice is yours.

If you're using Paint™ just make your patch/flag, crop it to 512x256 and save it under KSP/Game Data/Squad/Flags.
