"I believe in everything until it's disproved. So I believe in fairies, the myths, dragons. It all exists, even if it's in your mind. Who's to say that dreams and nightmares aren't as real as the here and now?"
Basically, it's liek this: do whatever manipulating or coloring or whatnot you're going to do to your icon first. That's your blank. Then copy the entire icon and put the copy in it's own icon area, so you have two identical bases.
One one base, use larger font and pick one word to use, then type it in all caps onto the first icon (use a print font and not a cursive or stylistic one; I use Tahome and Arial a lot). On the other icon, which shouldn't have any text on it, copy a portion to cover up part of the text on the first icon, whether it be completely across (like the Catherine icon) or just a part of the word (like with one of the Greg icons).
Then paste the portion you've copied onto the icon. You should have half or so of the text covered up and the image should be perfectly aligned. Underneath, in a smaller size font (and here you can use cursive or whatnot; I usually stick with the same font at about half the size), write whatever else it is you want to write.
I hope that helps; I've never had to explain it before.
