The markers you are currently using are all based on the dimensions, shadows etc of the G_DEFAULT_ICON and the only thing you are actually changing is the main icon image.
gicons["blueIcon"] = new GIcon(G_DEFAULT_ICON, "http:// cf.bigfatdesigns.com/clients/natss/media/images/icon_college.png"); Despite what it says in your original posted code, icon_college.png does not have the same dimensions as the default google marker, it is actually 40px × 38px. So to make it look right.. you would need to set some of the other properties shown in the reference. http://code.google.com/apis/maps/documentation/reference.html#GIcon.GIcon You could upload icon_college.png to the Google Map Custom Marker Maker at http://www.powerhut.co.uk/googlemaps/custom_markers.php to get all the images and parameters you need. // This icon uses the same shape as the default Google marker // So we can use its details for everything except the image blueIcon.image = "http://cf.bigfatdesigns.com/clients/natss/ media/images/icon_college.png"; is not true.
