You can create your own icons by creating a textfile and giving it a .desktop extension. That's all an icon is. Go to /usr/share/applications and have a look. Anyone of those files can be dragged into you ~/Desktop folder if you use that for desktop icons or else directly onto your desktop.
The format of the .desktop file is fairly simple to follow I have made them for url as well as script icons and keep them in /usr/local/share/applications. Once you have created the file the "icon" can be used like any other icon, e.g. adding to Quicklaunch. Use anything for an icon. Here is what one of mine looks like.
rick@rick:~$ cat /usr/local/share/applications/weather.desktop
[Desktop Entry]
Name=Weather
Comment=Weather Forecast
Exec=/usr/local/bin/weather.sh
Icon=/usr/local/share/icons/weather.png
Terminal=0
Type=Application
Categories=Application;Network;
