OFC I'M NOT KIDDING, 6 IS PERFECT :3 but I'm really happy to hear you like that Jack icon, thanks so much! as for your question, I'm pretty sure I just used the basic 'copy of text with a darker color underneath the main text layer' thing so basically what you described. It does sometimes look silly and weird, I guess it depends a lot on the colors and size and font and everything.... I wish I could give better advice but seriously I'm no text expert, I have no idea what I'm doing with it most of the time :')

Ikr, Lost has a billion great characters. You'd think that in such a huge cast nobody would stand out and it would be too much, but it never was, everyone had their own distinct personality.
