Google for how Google Maps does the location pop -- with cloud effects, a 
directed tail, multiple sizes, and a shadow.

They do it all inside a translucent PNG, apparently with the tail and shadow 
painted on. That all alpha-channel blends into the map, providing all the 
visual cues.

In a day or two, the shadow will deform correctly with the underlying 
topology... (-;
