You have to make sure it's an uncompressed TGA (the default format is RLE compressed), and that the origin is set to the lower left. I've had best luck using The Gimp to write them. You can get it at

I just can't resist...

You can get an installer for the GIMP at:

GIMP stands for GNU Image Manipulation Program. That's what it is .. it's like PSP or Photoshop, lets you create and edit images and load and save them in various formats. It has pretty good help available for it, too.
This thread on forums.relicnews.com has step-by-step instructions for making badges with the GIMP:

Haha, interesting. I used to have the opposite problem when making Q3 textures. Not the compression thing, but the line ordering. I would make the textures with GIMP and they would look upside-down in the game, since Q3 assumed top-to-bottom line ordering in its TGAs.
Anyway, I can recommend the GIMP, it's a fine program. At the very least, you could make your graphics in some other program and then load them with the GIMP and re-save them. The newer versions of the GIMP give you the option (when saving TGAs) to specify whether to use compression, and which line ordering to use.
If for some reason you can't use the GIMP, or some other program that allows you to set the TGA line ordering, hmmm. You might want to investigate this program: <a href="http://www.neogeographica.com/node.php?id=81">TGA origin switcher</a>. Myself and another guy made this to automatically flip TGA images to use the line ordering expected by Q3. It won't flip them in the other direction, but that would probably be a trivial modification. Source code is included in the download if someone else wants to hack on it, or I could probably be persuaded to look into making that modification.
