How do I add an icon to this token code?

Question

I’ve taken an interest in Ethereum and it’s smart contracts and in my free time I’ve been experimenting around a bit, however I’m very new to it so keep that in mind as you answer this question.

So I found a code for a token creation on the internet and I’ve been picking around at it. I was able to create customized token on the testnet, but I haven't figured out how to give it an icon like a lot of other real tokens have. I have a link to the code below, what steps would I need to take to give it an icon?

You can set your Token's symbol like this for an icon:

 string public constant symbol = "";

Okay, so I can see the icon in the transaction (although it's not a smile) but cannot see the icon in metamask (https://ropsten.etherscan.io/address/0xb8f692f4d76dcc70373ecdd4792d930df9402a72). Also how does one have an icon that's not a character (or is that impossible)? Last, I've updated the google doc to include the new code I used. – user71416 Nov 07 '17 at 19:24

I've reply to this very same question here -> How to verify token after etherscan, and submit icon

To do this you’ll need to go to the Etherscan Contact Us Page and send them an e-mail with the following information:

Firstly, check that your token contract source code has been verified.

1. Contract Address: 

2. Official Site URL:

3. Link to download a 28x28png icon logo:

4. Official Contact Email Address:

They have a full explanating of what information you have to send, just select "Update Token Information in the Contact Form:
