Instead of using MS Paint, maybe you should use Inkscape for such projects. It can easily align text along lines, but the best thing is that it is vector based, so the images easily scale. Very useful for logos.

That’s all well and good until you need more jpeg.

  You can always export an Inkscape image as a bitmap in whatever resolution you’ll probably need.
  
  I once did an export with a width of >10000px (85cm ~=33.5in @ 300dpi). Yes, the file size sucked. But it looked good.

    Will it handle seven pixels?

Or Gimp

  Or GIMP, yes, but for that kind of logo, Inkscape is definitely the better choice.
  
  It always depends on the project.

  Gimp is free, but God is the interface terrible.
  
  Lots of free software is great. I love my QGIS and I escape, but Gimp just can’t replace photoshop for me.

    Good thing is that GIMP 3.0 is right around the corner, bringing a port from GTK2 to GTK3 and with that a much more modern GUI.
    
    Inkscape would still be better for this in particular though.
