It's not what program you use, it's the effort put in to use that program. MS paint is one of the more simpler programs to use for drawing, and frankly it's not so bad if you know how to use it right. I've seen people put out things made in paint that I mistaken for some fancy smancy program that cost hundreds of dollars.
Besides...GIMP is ok for drawing, but SAI is hella better. Puts you in the most natural way of drawing >w< but for what syd is doing paint is pretty damn perfect~
anyway back to syd:
You should have made some curved rectangles (combined two to make the shape you want, use the selection tool to copy the top half/paste/flip it vertically/transparent/line up and drop and erase the unneeded lines). Then just used the line tools (curved and straight) to make them heavier. Would have made it more neater.
Use the same method for making the lines that divided it up. Then take your letters and type them off to the side (don't need to be in the boxes you can place them there) using the selection tool (the dotted line box if ya didn't know) and just take the letters and line them up. If you have to make yellow guidelines for the letters; they can be easily removed (:
