The game, when reads the ui package expects to find a TGA image: if another type of image is found, it will not be diaplayed correctly, or it will not be displayed at all. Therefore, if you want to create a custom screen like this, you must find a program that creates TGA images, there's no escape. One last thing. The various image formats are not identical: for example, PNG and TGA contain a special "mask", that makes transparent some parts of the image, and opaque the remaining parts. BMP and JPG images are always opaque, no transparence is allowed, so your new logo will look horrible, even if you find a way to import it in the ui.package.

Just make sure your paint program like (Adobe Photoshop) supports png transparency and your finished.
