Half Life Logo Creator is a compact Windows utility that lets you create your own logo for games based on the GoldSrc engine. The software does not require installation due to its small size and limited functionality.

Logos

To be used in the game as logos, the pictures need to comply with certain requirements. The bitmap image must be in 255 colors with the width and height in increments of 16 pixels along with the total amount of less than 12288 pixels. Most importantly, it should be converted to WAD3, the file extension developed by Valve for storing textures.

Application

To get access to the main instruments, it is necessary to have a game which utilizes the Half-Life engine. The process of making a logo is straightforward. You can import the image and resize it to the targeted specifications as well as convert the result into the correct format. Afterwards, the application automatically copies the logo to the proper directory.

The program offers a limited range of editing options like sharpen, smooth as well as the ability to adjust contrast, transparency and brightness.

Advantages

The utility has an easy-to-use interface which shows you error messages if the image dimensions are wrong. Moreover, you can view the progress bar to monitor the resizing process.

The software allows you to import not only bitmaps, but many more file types. It is possible to use pictures created in applications like Aseprite.
