Let me see what I can do. I'm no expert with Photoshop, but I have created my own wallpaper for MFT with Photoshop.

Here's a quick tutorial on how I did mine for those who want to give it a shot on their own.
1. Download Paint.net (Use anyone you want but this is what I'll be using for this tutorial)
2. Open a new project
3. Go to "Image" on the tool bar and select "Canvas Size" Make canvas 800x384
4. Find your background on the internet and save it to a folder you'll remember (http://blog.drpower.com/wp-content/u...13/02/Dirt.jpg)
5. Insert background onto canvas by going to Layers---->Import from file and find your saved image
6. Go to Image--->resize and make your background 800x384 to fit your canvas
7. Find your logos and save them to the folder where you saved your background (https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-M...ogo%2B1969.png) (http://www.valuewalk.com/wp-content/...pillar-inc.jpg)
8. Repeat step 5 for each image to get them on your canvas to create a new layer. Keep it simple with the images for your first tries.
9. If you want to get the lettering off the background so the background isn't on the image, go to the left hand tool panel and select the erase tool. This will erase the unnecessary background stuff off your logos/text. It takes some fine tuning.
10. Arrange the logos on the background however you see fit by dragging the lettering and adjusting the size by the corners of the select box.
11. Once the logos are in place, you can start using different effects to give them flare. I used a very slight crystallization (Effects--->Distort--->crystallize) on my dirt to give it a more sandy look and my primary logo I gave it transparency into the background (Layers--->Layer Property--->Opacity slider)
11. Once you're satisfied, go to File--->Save As. Give your work a file name and below that, there will be a drag box that says "Save as type". Click for the options and save as JPEG.
12. It will take you through a quality screen, you can ignore that then before it saves, it will ask you to flatten the image. Select yes. This make yours image into one image. No more layers.
Helpful hints: Save your work after each layer....Save the work as a different name than your final save as JPEG so you can come back and work on it later. Once the image is "flattened" you won't be able to work on it as easy....Find and download images that will fit the canvas without much resizing. Saves times and adjusting issues...Use the erase tool after the magic wand to clean up your image or lettering.
That was a very brief tutorial. All I really had time to do. I can help via PM but mainly, play around with it. From the time I downloaded the program to done with my image, it was roughly 45 minutes. I never used that program before. So tinker around with it and you'll pick it up fast! It's quite fun!

Any tips on how to do a quadrant layout and a small center piece? I wanted a different pic for each of the 4 corners then do the ford oval in the center. This has been kicking my *****

Here's a couple more. I'll keep adding them as I come up with new ideas. I really want the new platinum badge/emblem to use

I'll do it when I go home on my lunch break (12PST) and post the edit in here. I remember that game well. That was Mariota's first start at Oregon.
