leaflet

In Javascript/CoffeeScript, using Leaflet to display a map, I would like to have custom markers out of a two custom images, and also featuring a shadow for the pin :

I want to have a "background" image with a color (or shape) to identify the category
On top, I want to have inside this image a specific image (logo) for each pin

I didn't find out how I could do that... Setting one image is quite easy but I don't know how to overlay them.

I could also consider using a tool to superpose/group/overlay these images (locally ?) before in order to send only one to the Icon Leaflet Class, but also there, I wouldn't know which tool to use.

Nevertheless, I still think that a double overlay would be more efficient and that my case could be useful for several people.
