Well for other steam games you would just import a supported format and the proggy would correct everything - but apparently TF2 is a bit different so you have to do somethings manually.
Here is a simple method wich I'm using to import my own sprays:

1) Download VTFedit here: http://nemesis.thewavelength.net/index.php?p=41
2) With VTFedit, Import your own .JPG,.BMP, etc... and convert it to a .VTF file (Valve Texture File)

3) Now place the .VTF file to this exact location (you'll probably have to create some folder manually but it shows exactly like this):

(your dir)\Steam\steamapps\(your username)\team fortress 2\tf\materials\VGUI\logos
4) To fixe the quickview appearing blank copy the same .VTF also here (you'll probably have to create the UI folder manually but it shows exactly like this):

(your dir)\Steam\steamapps\(your username)\team fortress 2\tf\materials\VGUI\logos\UI
5) Ingame, go to the options and click import the spray and browse for it in the \logos folder (not the UI folder!) and validate. (this will create a VMT file near your VTF)

To resume, your .VTF must reside in the last \logos and also \UI folder where you copied it manually, then don't forget to do the step 5), the spray now appear correctly in the list, I have tested to spray it ingame and it works fine.
