That information is likely to be in either the Debian reference manual
(free download) from http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/debian-reference/
or your desktop manager's reference manual.

I keep icons for my apps in ~/archive/icons - so put them anywhere that
suits you in the user that will use them, or in /usr/local. if more
they'll be used on more than one login. Use image editors to make the
icons. I use .jpg, .png .svg images for that, so you can use the Gimp to
draw them. I prefer to use xfig, a vector editor, because its easier to
draw straight lines, rectangles and text with it.

Then use your desktop's built-in tools to set up icons and link them to
the relevant scripts or executables.
