Known forum issues...

#15
I will try to throw something up, but just for the record, "ghostly" isn't really a drop shadow, it's just my awkward way of saying the colour range goes from completely transparent to solid white. In other words, we're just lighting up the background. It can also technically go negative as well, towards black, darkening the background so to speak. Basically we're just putting a light/shadow hilight over the background up in the banner area. It looks good when done right.

So generally speaking we need a black background to start. Not hard though because I can just invert your graphic. The lettering should be white. The only technical problem with this graphic is it's a bit tall (mostly because of the shadow)

I'd just assume try it without a shadow and see if that is not enough. I also find applying an emboss type filter can have interesting effects, making it appear chiseled for example. Anyway, maybe you could change it to a shadowless version for now.
