Had this idea off and on again for a while now, but this time I happened to be in front of a computer when inspiration struck.
Made with GIMP 3.0.4. Yes, I used the awkward {selection + normal fill + smaller selection + erase fill} method to draw the circle. There was also a bright spot in the image under the text that required a drop shadow.
Didn't 3.2 add vector tools? I haven't used it yet but I've heard that was one of the new features.
3.2? It took 7 years to get from 2.10 to 3.0, and now they've gotten to 3.2 in just a year? :o
