What do you want to do? There are different particle-types for different possibilities. Sprites are the most flexibile once.

You can define an image which will be used as particle.

 

See you

Take a look at the examples, change the settings, fiddle. Start experimenting. I needed fairy sparkles for a character and just started fiddling with the settings, adding and combining different particles and it started to make sense. Once you have a grasp of it the sky's the limit. Only your own imagination can hold you back. "Spriticles" are the best by far. Using images. really cool stuff. You can layer a bunch of different types with different properties. Sort of like "painting" with particles to get the exact look you want.

make a picture of what you want on a plain background say black they either make an alpha channel to hide all but the pictuure or set the background color to be invisible and choose that as the sprite image

streaks are my favorite. you can make rain, sprays, snow, sparks, confetti...
