Minecraft v1.7.2 introduced a neat feature where you can have a custom icon appear in the Miencraft server list in your client.
To have your own icon, follow these instructions:
1. Make a picture that is 64 x 64 (pixels)
2. Customize it to your liking, I recommend using Photoshop or Paint.NET.
3. Save it as "server-icon" and make sure it's a .png file. The whole filename should be EXACTLY server-icon.png. All lowercase!
4. Drag and drop it to the root of your minecraft folder using FTP.
5. Restart your server.
